Senior Citizen Population Will Grow Faster in All States by 2030

The U.S. Census Bureau released projections on the U.S. population by state for the year 2030 and the headlines were about which states are to grow the fastest. The real story, however, is the picture of the growth in senior citizens. Beginning in 2011, the population 65 and older will grow faster than the total population in every single state. How will these seniors be prepared for their future? How can Securus help? How can you help?

Three states — Florida, California and Texas — would account for nearly one-half (46 percent) of total U.S. population growth between 2000 and 2030, according to the projections released today. Consequently, Florida, now the fourth most populous state, would edge past New York into third place in total population by 2011; California and Texas would continue to rank first and second, respectively, in 2030.

Highlights of the senior population boom in the report:
    >  In 2000, each of the nation’s 50 states had more people under 18 than 65 and older. In fact, in about half of the states, the ratio was more than two to one. In 2030, 10 states are projected to have more people 65 and older than under 18: Florida, Delaware, Maine, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
    >  In six states, more than one in every four residents would be age 65 and older in 2030: Florida, Wyoming, Maine, New Mexico, Montana and North Dakota.
    >  As the oldest baby boomers become senior citizens in 2011, the population 65 and older is projected to grow faster than the total population in every state. In fact, 26 states are projected to double their 65- and-older population between 2000 and 2030.

Is Your Formula for Success the Best it Can Be?

Every great Final Expense agent knows one of the secrets to success is having enough people to see on a regular basis. Lead generation and referral campaigns are designed to provide you with at least 20 - 30 fresh new prospects per week that have been screened and targeted to provide you with the highest quality lead in the industry. At Securus, we feel that it is not a prudent business approach to spend ten minutes of your presentation explaining your way around deceptive marketing campaigns.

A good Final Expense Marketing company should also be totally engaged with online recruitment. According to Hinge Marketing Survey "firms Generating 40% of Leads Online are Quadrupling Their Growth".
