*I fall into this generation

Excerpt taken from “The New Workforce”, Harriet Hankin AMACOM 2005

“The Baby Boom Echo is entering the workforce and will be coming on in force through the first quarter of the 21st Century. Nearly 75 million strong, this generation is coming of age as powerful and positive. Their parents, theBoomers, are seen as the most child-centred caregivers in history.”

“At any rate, the Baby Boom Echo is seen as a largely self-confident group, sometimes even cocky. They like to set goals and go for them. Since they have had to be good time management since day one, Echos are multitaskers and team players. In fact, they typically prefer to work in groups rather than alone.”
