Generation Y

[Rael]

What is Generation Y?

- The Silent generation, people born before 1946.

- The Baby Boomers, people born between 1946 and 1959.

- Generation X, people born between 1960 and 1979.

- Generation Y, people born between 1980 and 1995

Why do we call the last one generation Y?

A cartoonist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new today...

Thanks. I knew I wasn't a Baby Boomer but never knew I was part of the Silent Generation. Just never heard that term before. Learned something new again today.
