Summary

Introduction

In 1999 there was a major decline in financial markets in the United States following the burst of the dot-com bubble and exacerbated by the reverberations of the attacks on September 11, 2001. Concomitant with the decline in the national economy and perhaps related to it, the computer-oriented high technology sector declined in terms of demand for services and in terms of numbers of employees as firms went out of business, merged, combined work forces, or outsourced parts of their operations. On the quantitative side we produced compilations of total and average household income and comprehensive taxes paid to all levels of government by residents of each state. For this current report we have looked behind the aggregate estimates to examine the factors that underpin regional variance in the charitable giving of households in Boston, in New England, and in the country
