Gen-Y is bored, Boomers Have Time

March 23rd, 2009 Rex Dixon Leave a comment Go to comments

It’s pretty simple that the baby boomers are all retiring or getting close with more time on their hands. Or they are now realizing they missed out on all the cool things they wished they had as kids.

Whatever the story is, this poll that I saw Steve break down well today is missing Generation-X (1965-1977). That is the current core workers I suppose. It still doesn’t explain the lack of representation these days. While you can click over to those links are read the poll and it’s findings, it’s time for another twtpoll of my own!

Sure it might have only been comparing the two generations (Y and Boomers), but since I’m from Gen-X, I wonder where all the Gen-X people are? It’s like a Gen-X ghost town online lately. Represent and vote below!

Technically Speaking, I really like these twtpoll poll’s and hopefully will get some more people voting or casting their opinions soon!

I can't vote in your poll because you don't include my
generation--Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X. Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term.

It is important to distinguish between the post-WWII demographic boom in births vs. the cultural generations born during that era. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. Many experts now believe it breaks down this way:

DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964
Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953
Generation Jones: 1954-1965

Here is a recent op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY:

@PeopleWatching - thanks for the correction on Generation Jones (1954-1965) - but for the sake of this poll, you could vote as a boomer since your years are covered there. Thank you, and great that you educated me on the Generation Jones!
