Wed, 27 May 2009 15:45:47 +0000 http://babyboomeradvisorclub.com/?p=10921#comment-5511 Actually, Sotomayor isn't a Boomer, but rather a member of 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 Generation X: 1966-1978 Here is an op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090127/column27_st.art.htm Actually, Sotomayor isn’t a Boomer, but rather a member of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X.
