"Baby boomers are a giant generation, with some 76 million babies born from 1946 to 1964. Over the course of their lifetimes, they've dominated American society- from their 1950s childhoods to the rebellious 1960s and 1970s to the family-oriented 1980s, the country grew up with them. While their influence has started to fade somewhat, the generation is not moving gently into their golden years."
"American business leaders are getting older, with the average CEO being nearly 60 years old (right on the Gen X/boomer line, though plenty are on the elder side). Some baby boomer executives, including Disney's Bob Iger and Starbucks' Howard Schultz, boomeranged back into the top job. The median age in the US Senate is 65 years old. The country has yet to have had a Gen X or millennial president - America's 42nd, 43rd, and current presidents were all born in the same year, 1946."
Baby boomers number about 76 million, born 1946–1964, and have shaped American society across multiple decades. They continue to wield outsized influence in corporate leadership, with average CEOs nearing 60 and some boomers returning to top executive roles. The median age in the US Senate is 65, and no Gen X or millennial has yet served as president; several presidents were born in 1946. Boomers retain homes and a disproportionate share of wealth. Older entertainers remain prominent in film. Demography unfolds slowly, making generational dominance persistent even as people live longer and efforts to combat ageism increase.
