    There is a name for them, I remember it may have started when Social Security started changing the retirement age.....

    I'm a Baby Boomer and a proud Okie and a fan of the OSU Cowboys! Go Pokes!

    Greatest generation... google

    The Greatest Generation is the title of Tom Brokaw's 1998 book profiling those who came of age during World War II in the US, stemming from his attendance at the D-Day 40th anniversary celebrations. In the book, Brokaw wrote, "it is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced". He argued that these men and women fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the "right thing to do".

    Baby boomers have been extraordinarily poor stewards of what was given to us. Maybe that's it in a nutshell, it was given, taken for granted.

    5. What are the primary generations today?

    Currently, five generations make up our society. Each of those five generations has an active role in the marketplace. Depending on the specific workplace, the workforce includes four to five generations. Here are the birth years for each generation:

    The generations are too long - it should be smaller like 10 years as things change so quickly

    There is still another term I'm thinking of but haven't taken the time to chase it down. I've only heard it in regard to the Soc.S. change. People from approx. 1918 - 1930 or so.

    The people who grew up during the Great Depression had a distinct mindset. too.
