There are two groups of Boomers. They added a Boomers II because the later boomers are a bit younger and there is a huge difference between the two.

You’ve got that right! We have little in common with the Boomer I group.

Not really, that Gen-Jones stuff is not what the real discussions are about and have been about for more than a half century the real generation is the 18 year generation of 1946-1964.

Of “early boomers” and Gen Jones” which had the larger numbers?

At one time, I think the Boomers I group outnumbered us, but they are beginning to age out. Our group did not have the luxury of easily finding jobs and, as a result, were forced to study harder and avoid unhealthy habits like drugs and promiscuity.

We also got schooled by the idiotic policies of Jimmy Carter rather than reaping benefits from them as did our older cohorts. The blanket pardon to draft dodgers was one example, but even more so was the fact that they younger boomers were unable to get home loans due to the simultaneously high interest and unemployment rates. Many of us worked multiple part-time jobs just to string together enough income to get by. Work ethic + more healthy lifestyle choices = a high probability that we will outlive the Boomer I generation.
