Gen X losing out to boomers and millennials?!

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2019/07/30/how-generation-x-is-losing-out-in-corporate-america-to-both-baby-boomers-and-millennials/ As one who was born right at the end of the "baby boom" ... I'm not "clinging" to a job, I'm bloody well trying to FIND one, and I'm quite sure I've been passed over in favor of Gen X'ers and millennials. Truly not trying to be rude, but ... HUH?!

Gen Xers face ageism as well. We also are considered Sandwiched between taking care of aging parents and our children. I hope you find a job soon. I am also looking. But so are millions of other people. I think this article is gaslighting the age gap, career aspirations, and diminishing retirement funds for clicks.

You make a good point -- the article *is* prime click bait material. Hadn't thought of that. Here's to ALL of us -- may we be back at work SOON!

You're invited.
