We should start using Generation Jones in our analysis. The 2004 election results showed the biggest skew in voting between the Boomers and the Jones's. Jones's were generationally the strongest supporters of GWB, Boomers the strongest for Kerry.

This is interesting. I take it that many Jones's watched in horror as the sixties happened and rejected most of the Boomer ideology out of hand.

We have also been known as "Reagan Youth" and "The Generation that should have gone to Vietnam" by our older Boomer detractors.

Much of our professional career has been spent in organizations where we are trapped behind "the bulge in the python" generation leaders who have poor skills, outdated ideology and boundless arrogance.

Much of the internet-era technology has been either created or popularized by Jones'ers.

And we will be the first to be screwed by Boomers failed politics, if many of the more pessimistic projections are correct

And we know it.

Looks like the Joneses are primarily the younger boomers who missed out on the top jobs because they were always a few years younger than the older boomers and thus always a few steps behind on the career curve.
