"They took our jerbs."
‘the biggest beneficiaries from the economic recovery are Boomers’-
There is no economic recovery.
and the only ones to benefit have been the Obama’s.
He’s making more money, has more vacations, plays more golf, and lives in a bigger house. And when his wife goes on a shopping spree with her girlfriends, it’s to Spain on the taxpayer’s dime.
Not everyone has skin in the game or eat their peas.
Boomer hubby and I continue to work because we’re terrified that our frugally saved 401 K’ s will be robbed. I say I’ll contine to work until I die. We’re “squirrels.” Also, my 84-year old father continues to work part-time, for the fun of it at a golft resort. His bumper sticker reads: will work for golf.
I'm having a hard time knowing what I should hate them for, one of those reasons, or for having raised a bunch of self-entitled whiners who seem to just want them to die off so the kids can get their stuff...
Jobs belong to the company, not to the workers.
Nobody steals jobs. The boomers have experience and skills, the primary thing the young bring to the market is being cheap and willing to work lots of overtime. In some cycles the market prefers the former, in other cycles the later.
Not to worry young ens....after Obama stands the baby boomes in front of the death panels, then it’s up to you to pay off the Obama, Pelosi and Reid $Trillion dollar spending spree’s, as far as the eye can see..while paying off your ponzi scheme student loans til your 60..
Some 324,000 women dropped out of the labor force in
March and April alone, a study finds, way more than the
net 235,000 total net jobs added during those two
months.
Meanwhile the number of women not in the civilian labor
force hit an all-time historical high of 53. 3 million
in those two months
They are out there. They are making it happen. The occutards have simply chosen...poorly.
“stealing” jobs - lovely presupposition. Obama’s America.
I have been with the same company for 28 years. I think the lack of change in boomer employment has more to do with age than anything. Boomers are at the age where they are done raising families and are more settled and established. This makes them more attractive as employees. Also, boomers are retiring and thus leaving the workforce through natural attrition.
“Free trade” is stealing jobs from all Americans.
Everything else, is partisan bickering.
This issue is too complicated to simply blame one generation or another.
I’m a Gen-Xer. My parents were pre boomers, born in 1934 and 1940. The boomers are better educated since public schools hadn’t been destroyed yet through PC. A HS graduate in 1960 probably has the equivalent of an associates degree today. Boomers have a much better work ethic.
Some boomers are why the public schools are failing now. The 60’s radicals took over education (Bill Ayers). My pre boomer algebra teacher could teach a rock how to do math. Her post retirement replacement, a graduate of a premier “teachers” program couldn’t sell water to a bedouin.
There are many positives and negatives to the Boomers. Painting them all with one brush is absurd.
Generation Y and the millenials to me seem hit or miss. I’ve encountered some of the most intelligent, motivated, hard working kids I’ve ever known among that group. Unfortunately there seems to be a large number of them that suffer from the “failure to launch” disease which IMHO comes directly from the destruction of the schools, total lack of personal accountability, and the PC culture of everyone gets a participation award.
Maybe because the older generation have work ethics,are dependable,honest and really know the job their doing.
I guess people ought to choose when they are born....
Or maybe the government should have had some form of population control to keep all those babies from 'happening' in such a relatively short time.
Sheesh!
Consider that those who have been doing the job for 30 years, might Know what they are doing.
Consider they grew up under a different work ethic than those who aren't permitted to run the french fry machine until they turn 18.
And consider that for the poor slobs who had the grave misfortune to be born at the tail end of the baby boom, the grass isn't any greener than it is for someone born 10 years later: the higher management positions aren't going to vacate until they are nearly retired, provided they get to--unless someone does stellar work.
Which is the bottom line: If you are good at what you do, work hard at it, and have some leadership qualities, you will rise to the top, provided you have some people skills as well.
Whining is not considered a skill.
Well, when they get out of college do they know how to read?
Boomers are mostly white and well educated. They came up at a time when the elite respected them enough to educate them and employers had ethics and high expectations. Now they import foreigners for college slots and neglect the public school children with dumbed down teachers and liberalism’s social retardation.
In addition, we have filled up the country with a replacement generation from the third world. Many don’t enter the nation legally and many don’t even finish high school. While doing this, we exported semi-skilled jobs to China and India. Welfare looks fine. When boomers are not around to pull the cart anymore, look out. They should be counting their lucky stars that boomers are still working.

But now he's finding out that my experience and the creativity that comes from really knowing what I'm doing just doesn't automatically come from whomever he can find who doesn't have that experience.
So, contrary to me 'stealing' the jobs of all these younger guys, it may well turn out that in the long run, I'm a significant factor in keeping them in *their* jobs.
