Poor Gen X-ers. In their 20s, boomers wouldn’t hire them. Too young. In their 40s and 50s, boomers’ kids think they’re too clueless. What happens down the road? Ted Rall cartoon.

They wouldn’t hire us in our 20s. We had cool ideas, but boomers thought we were snotty kids. Now, in our 40s and 50s, the boomers’ kids say we’re clueless codgers. What lies ahead? Hunger. It’s employment, Gen X style.
