		At the beginning of the 21st century, Boston was the focus of economic activity, communications, and transportation in New England and was one of the major centers of higher education and high technology in the United States.
		Boston’s population decline in the mid-20th century was due to several factors: urban renewal, which removed high-occupancy tenements and replaced them with new construction; the expansion of commercial office space into areas that had once been residential; and freeway construction, which made the movement of people to suburban communities easier.
		Unemployment in Boston decreased from 18.8 percent in 1979 to 8.2 percent in 1989 and to 5.4 percent in 1995.
