US Census Bureau publishes its first profile of Baby Boomers in 13 years.
In its first report on Baby Boomers in 13 years, a new US Census Bureau analysis of 2006 data released in November 2009, found that the majority of Baby Boomers – those born between 1946 and 1964 -- are white, married, have some college education and were employed in 2006. The report also found that California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania are the five US states with the largest numbers of Baby Boomers. In 2006, Baby Boomers age 42 to 60 totaled an estimated 78.0 million and comprised 26.1% of the total U.S. population.
