Large Millenial

From  USA Today:
"Millennials become largest generation in U.S., surpass baby boomers"


Baby Boomers are no longer America’s dominant generation. According to information published by the Pew Research Center April 25, and 2015 U.S. Census population estimates, there are 75.4 million Millennials versus 74.9 million Baby Boomers in the United States. Millennials were identified as those born between 1981 and 1997 and are between the ages of 18-34 years old, while Baby Boomers were identified as those born between 1946 and 1964 and are between 51-69 years old. The Research Center reports that young immigrants and Baby Boomer deaths are reasons for why the Millennial number continues have surpassed those of Baby Boomers. It is predicted that by 2050, the Millennial count will reach 79.2 million, and the Baby Boomer population will drop to 16.6 million. Over the last several years, Baby Boomers have consistently dominated other generations. In 1999, it was reported that there were 78.8 million boomers in the United States. Generation X, the smaller generation born between 1965 and 1980, are expected to surpass Baby Boomers in 2028.


^ Of course the older generation (the Baby Boomers) is going to decline as they pass away. ^
