What is a Baby Boomer?

Baby Boomers are considered to have been born between 1946 and 1964.  They were born in the post World War II era and after.  These people are now between the ages of  45 and 63 and number around 75 million.   They have a vast amount of impact on the economy and the country.  This website http://www.retiredseniorsnetwork.com/blog/2009/07/04/what-is-a-baby-boomer.html  breaks down the various generations within this era and gives an overall view of how they affect all of us.  Many of our large businesses are owned and operated by people within this era.  Gerber Foods and Disney both started in the 1950’s and were aimed for children growing up during those years.
