Economists and local officials said they were not surprised that the economy of Massachusetts is contracting at a slower rate than the nation’s as a whole. Harvard economics Professor Kenneth S. Rogoff said that the state was less hard hit by the recession due to the prevalence of biotech, healthcare, and education industries, which are more stable and resilient to the business cycle.
