Much like the Baltimore Sun article focuses on a graduate from a DC-area student, the Globe article focuses specifically on the skills mismatch in the Boston area. "About 55% of the region's working-age population is 45 or older, compared with about 52% in Massachusetts overall and 50% in the United States" (Adams 2012)
