I believe that older works have a different code of ethics. Which makes them invaluable, as opposed to many of the younger workers that are moving back in, with their parents, after they graduate from college, then don't want to leave. Just my opinion..

Generation X (today's 25- to 35-year-olds

So if the last baby boomer turns 40 this year, what is a 39 year old?

I hate it when they leave me out of Generation X just because I'm leading the way!

It's been a well known fact that there is going to be a labor shortage during the last have of this decade as the baby boomer generation starts to retire. I don't think employers are going to start firing older workers if its going to be difficult to replace them.

That could mean labor shortages that make the job market resemble the late '90s -- when companies offered signing bonuses, stock options and other incentives to attract and keep skilled workers, including those with graying temples -- more than the past few years of layoffs and buyouts at many companies.

Labor shortages? Give me a break. There will be less of a demand for workers in the future because of globalism.
