Expanding opportunity through research, journalism, and civic engagement in Massachusetts
Join us as MassINC celebrates 30 years of impact
Since 1996, MassINC has advanced evidence-based research, independent journalism, and civic engagement to inform public dialogue and strengthen decision-making across the Commonwealth. On May 14, 2026, we’ll mark this milestone at the State Room at 60 State Street in Boston during our 30th Anniversary Celebration, reflecting on our shared impact and looking ahead to the work still to come.
Throughout the anniversary year, MassINC will also release special research, journalism, and polling that revisits our founding question: how to grow a thriving middle class in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Middle Class Status Report
As MassINC marks its 30th anniversary, the Massachusetts Middle Class Status Report revisits a foundational question: whether households in Massachusetts can achieve economic security, stability, and full participation in civic life. Using a multidimensional economic capacity framework, the report offers a rigorous, data-driven assessment of whether the Commonwealth’s economy is delivering broadly shared prosperity.
