Echo Boomers

Echo Boomers
(CBS) If you've ever wondered why corporate America, Hollywood, Madison Avenue and the media all seem obsessed with the youth culture, the answer is simple.

The largest generation of young people since the l960s is beginning to come of age. It's called "echo boomers" because they're the genetic offspring and demographic echo of their parents, the baby boomers.

Born between 1982 and 1995, there are nearly 80 million of them, and they're already having a huge impact on entire segments of the economy. And as the population ages, they will be become the next dominant generation of Americans

The first babies of the boomers have moved out of their parents' homes and into the workforce. However, the peak population of these "echo boomers" is still in trade school and college.

The age distribution charts derived from 2000 census data indicate that the age of the echo boomers spikes slightly differently across district states?-from 16 years old in Minnesota to 20 years old in North Dakota and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, their baby boomer parents crest at 41 years of age across district states.
