Summary:
Tells the story of the small but vital generation spanning the ages of 38 to 49 in 2014. Although their numbers are small, lifestage dictates that Generation X is a vital part of the nations commerce and culture. People in their thirties and forties are in the crowded-nest years. They are supposed to be advancing in their careers, their incomes should be growing, and their spending should climb because of the expenses of children and teens. Generation X: Americans Born 1965 to 1976 shows how Gen Xers are coping with these demands and what to expect in the future. --from publisher description.
