Generation X

Generation X (1965-1978) is the smallest generation in the history of America.  There are only 45 million of these people making up 40% of the workforce.  They will shoulder the burden of retiring populations and rising healthcare costs.  They see technology as an extension of themselves. For example, a Gen Xer thinks internet before referring to books on shelves.  They tend to focus on speed and efficiency before quality.  They make outstanding employees when allowed to work on their own with little supervision. Gen Xers have been predicted to change careers between 3-5 times in their lifetime.  Why?  Because they can!
