Generation X was found to lag being Boomers I and Boomers II in terms of real average income and in terms of their income standing relative to the rest of the relevant singles population. With the possible exception of having a greater range of entertainment and products to purchase, Generation Xers seem to be worse off than their baby boom predecessors by every measure. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
