Genette Comfort at genette.comfort@ymcadc.org

This annual event is to encourage employees in parts of the County to learn how easy it is to incorporate walking into their daily routines when they consider commute options other than driving alone and sitting in traffic. Telework employees can participate. Registrants log their daily steps on the event website from October 17-November 4, 2022.

Note: This event is for employees only in these 5 areas of the County: Bethesda, North Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Silver Spring and Shady Grove.

By 2050, 50-plus households will account for 60 cents of every dollar spent in Maryland, says AARP in “The Longevity Economy Outlook: Maryland.”

“In 2018 [the most recent data available], the 50-plus population accounted for 36% of Maryland’s population, yet contributed 39%—or $163 billion—of the state’s total GDP. Their activities also supported 1.6 million jobs and generated $116 billion in wages and salaries. Their contribution to GDP is forecast to reach $487 billion in 2050.”

Is your organization attracting 50+ consumers, investors and employees? You will find strategic data in the AARP report at https://www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/research/surveys_statistics/econ/2020/longevity-economy-outlook-maryland.doi.10.26419-2Fint.00044.021.pdf.
