“MILLENNIALS SURPASS BABY BOOMERS AS LARGEST U.S. GENERATION, ENDING 20-YEAR RUN,” by Benjamin Fearnow, Newsweek

Quote:

“For the first time in the 21st Century, the Baby Boomers are no longer the largest generation in America. Millennials, an age group defined as people between the ages of 23 to 38 years old, overtook their Boomer counterparts as of July 1, 2019, according to U.S. Census Bureau data compiled by the Pew Research Center and published Tuesday. Boomers, defined as Americans aged 55 to 73, had been the nation’s largest living adult generation since 1999 and they held that title for two decades. Generation X, the “middle child” generation between the two, are set to surpass Boomers in population by 2028, although they peaked in size in 2015.”

From “drugs, sex & rock ‘n’ roll” to the over-the-hill gang social distancing at home. What a ride! Note this author’s name. Appropriate.
