More Baby Boomers now “have” to work, whereas many “kids these days” can just live with Mom and/or Dad.

The “Boomers” have to work to pay for the “kids” who move back home until they’re 30 or so....

Right ON! We can identify with that! What is more, we Baby Boomers know how to do things and the "kids" don't! (Although they all think they do! ;-)

That might be a bigger part of it than we think. Many that I know that had planned to retire in the last few years are too worried to do so.
I would guess they’ve also taken quite a hit with their portfolios and aren’t in the financial shape they thought they would be in at this point in their lives.

More likely, boomers WILL work and are grateful to have jobs. They are also less likely to bitch, file lawsuits, make harassment complaints or take unscheduled days off.
If I was a personal officer, the only people I would consider would be boomers and honorably discharged veterans. The rest could take a flying leaps at rolling donuts.
