A lot of silent generation folks have been still working in large numbers in congress and the senate but only just starting to drop away now...until last 10 ten years folks tended to mix up the silent generation with early boomers who hadn’t retired yet...now early genx’s are being confused with later boomers for the same reasons.(still working)
GenX starts in 1965, the oldest GenX are 61. I wouldn’t say GenX is clinging to their jobs too long just yet. In fact, after getting passed over for millennials in the leadership rolls, I think most GenX can’t wait to give their jobs to someone else as soon as they can.
