Generation Y

I've always wondered about this myself. Now I know
  • The Silent generation, people born before 1946. 
  • The Baby Boomers, people born between 1946 and 1959. 
  • Generation X , people born between 1960 and 1979. 
  • Generation Y, people born between 1980 and 1995. 
Why do we call the last one generation Y? I did not know, but a caricaturist explains it eloquently below...Learn something new!

    Many experienced family breakdown with the rise of divorce, are out-spoken, and have a self-worth not seen in any previous generation. Some Gen Xers view Gen Y workers as the Entitlement Generation. Gen Xers (and Boomers) need to understand who our workforce pipeline is. Gen Y and X share some similarities, although there are enough differences to note with this workforce.
