Arguably one of the most significant groups in modern history, the Baby Boomers have influenced everything from elder care to childrearing techniques. Boomers are still making an impact on society, whether they are exploring new endeavors, enjoying retirement, or striking a balance between job and caregiving.
Astonishing Baby Boomer Facts
The 76 million Americans who were born between 1946 and 1964 are known as the Baby Boom generation, and they have significantly influenced politics, the arts, and lifestyles. Do you believe you are an expert on them? Ten lesser-known facts that may surprise you are listed below:
Vigorous and Invigorated
Discard the myth that older people move more slowly. Boomers that are still quite active in their careers include George Clooney, Jerry Seinfeld, and Stevie Nicks.
Boomers Use the Internet Often
78% of Boomers were online in 2013; many of them considered themselves to be heavy internet users. Unexpectedly, Boomers spend a greater proportion of their online time—more than Millennials—on news and political research.
Retirement Mark: 65 years of age
Boomers are anticipated to continue this trend for years as they approach the typical retirement age at a rate of 10,000 every day since 2011.
A Growing Range of Origins
The proportion of foreign-born Boomers is rising. The United States is home to around 10 million Boomers who were born abroad, a reflection of the shifting demography of the country.
Nature’s Thrift
Because they are practical, 79% of boomers choose store brands over name goods when they can afford them.
Health Concerns: Hepatitis C: Because the infection develops slowly, boomers are five times more likely than previous generations to have Hepatitis C, and many of them are unaware of this. Experts in health advise Boomers to get examined.
Boomer Population Leader Maine
Maine has the largest percentage of boomers in the nation—36.8%—of the state’s total population. West Virginia, Vermont, Montana, and New Hampshire are among the other states with a high concentration.
Exceptionally knowledgeable
More than 69% of Baby Boomers in states like Colorado have some college education. Other states that have education rates higher than 50% follow the same pattern.
Presidential Lineage: Boomers have ruled the White House; Barack Obama, Donald Trump, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton are just a few recent examples.
Helping Grown Children
Financial support for adult children is still provided by a sizable portion of Boomers (59%) notably for those between the ages of 18 and 39.
