Book Synopsis

This completely updated fourth edition of Millennials in America provides a wide range of characteristics profiling the demographic, social, and economic status of the millennial generation. While the baby boom generation occupies much of our social and political dialogue, the millennial generation is actually a larger generation. As the boomers age, their numbers will decrease while the millennials will be the driving social and political force in the coming decades. Millennials in America focuses on the those born between 1982-2001.

Millennials in America is an invaluable source for helping people understand what the census data tells us about who we are, what we do, and where we live.

Benefits of this publication include:
It will fill an information gap due to the difficulty in extracting comparative data from the Census Bureau's American FactFinder dissemination system.Users will have comparative data in a single reference volume.It will eliminate the need for the data user to understand and manipulate detailed census data files and consolidate disparate tables in AFF.This publication utilizes the PUMS data which is the ONLY source of data that can be used to define precise age ranges for the millennial generation. The age detail available for census summary data simply aren't adequate for defining the millennials and therefore prohibit compilation of characteristics specific to this important generation.

Review Quotes

"As defined in this volume, the millennial generation, born between 1982 and 2001, currently numbers approximately 85 million in the U.S. This generation shapes trends in housing, employment, and technology and will undoubtedly continue to have an outsize influence on American life over the next several decades. The intent of this volume is to examine differences between subsets of the millennial generation, instead of contrasting it as one entity with other generations. Data presented in this volume covers general demographics, race and ethnicity, immigration and migration, housing, education, language, employment, and income. Most data appears in table format with introductory and supporting material at the beginning of each chapter.... [T]his volume is recommended for business reference collections serving users who prefer to access this information in a traditional reference work instead of searching the raw data online." --Booklist
