This fascinating comparison by Eileen Patten and Ricard Fry of the Pew Research Center elucidates the differences between today's young people (age 18 to 33) and their counterparts in 1963. The numbers are illuminating. For instance, in terms of simple demographics, nearly 80 percent of "Silents" (those born between 1928 and 1945) were White. That number is down to 57 percent for Millenials. In addition, the study indicates that Millenials - especially women - are far more educated than their predecessors, are far more likely to have never married, and are much less likely to be veterans. These are just a few of the interesting tidbits from this timely report.
