This completely updated third edition of Millennials in America provides
a wide range of characteristics profiling the demographic, social, and
economic status of the Millennial generation. While the Baby Boom
generation occupies much of our social and political dialogue, the
Millennial generation is actually a larger generation. As the Boomers
age, their numbers will decrease while the Millennials will be the
driving social and political force in the coming decades. Millennials in
America focuses on the those born between 1982-2001. Millennials in
America is an invaluable source for helping people understand what the
census data tells us about who we are, what we do, and where we live.
Benefits of this publication include: -It will fill an information gap
due to the difficulty in extracting comparative data from the Census
Bureau's American FactFinder dissemination system. -Users will have
comparative data in a single reference volume. -It will eliminate the
need for the data user to understand and manipulate detailed census data
files and consolidate disparate tables in AFF. -This publication
utilizes the PUMS data which is the ONLY source of data that can be used
to define precise age ranges for the Millennial generation. The age
detail available for census summary data simply aren't adequate for
defining the Millennials and therefore prohibit compilation of
characteristics specific to this important generation.
