Born between 1982 and 2000, Millennials exceed the size of Baby
Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) by millions and represent
more than one-quarter of the nation’s population. Being America’s most
racially diverse generation with 57% being White, 21% Hispanic,
13% Black, 6% Asian and 3% other, these Millennials are more likely
to be foreign-born and speak a language other than English at home.
Being somewhat unattached to organized politics and religion, connected by social media, troubled by debt, skeptical of people, racially
diverse, in no rush to marry and positive about the future, Millennials
are known to be different from any other generation.
