I could concede part of that theory....think that some of those born between say 54-64 that lived in more urban/intelelctual areas might fit into a separate Jones grouping, but for many of us that lived in smaller cities and towns that were behind the times as it were are firmly entrenched.<BR/><BR/>That said, we are talking around 74 verse 79 million. The Jones Generation not being enough to sway much of anything, wise to keep their lot thrown in with the boomers as has traditionally been the case.Royce Penstingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097783614648808652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053072130853133013.post-41557130476597810812009-03-17T10:33:00.000-05:002009-03-17T10:33:00.000-05:00Interesting blog and post, but it’s missing an imp...Interesting blog and post, but it’s missing an important part of the equation: 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. <BR/><BR/>You reference 79 million Boomers, but 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:<BR/><BR/>DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964<BR/>Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953<BR/>Generation Jones: 1954-1965Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
