Overview: The media's unrelenting focus on baby boomers may cause a similar sense of frustration for Gen-Xers, who are often left out of the spotlight. Simply put, it's a numbers game. Generation X, comprising those born between 1965 and 1976, has only 41 million people. In comparison, there are 76 million boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and 72 million Gen-Yers (born between 1977 and 1994). Talk about a "Sandwich generation"! Popular perception hasn't been kind, either. Gen-Xers have been labeled as "Reactive," "Cynical" or "Slackers."
