Merc--I'm not an economist, so I don't have any numbers to respond to you with. Perhaps I should say "perceived benefit" as we get more consumers in the stores and more home buyers in town.
And I don't know where they are working, really. A lot of this is upper class families moving here, who already have a source of income. Most of these people send their kids to private or parochial schools.
