*All generation labels used in this report, with the exception of Younger - and Older - Boomers, are the names conventionalized byHowe and Strausss book, Generations: Strauss, William & Howe, Neil. Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069(Perennial, 1992). As for Younger Boomers and Older Boomers, enough research has been done to suggest that the two decadesof Baby Boomers are different enough to merit being divided into distinct generational groups.
