I do mean Generation X, 1960s to early 80s

  Fair enough, its just Gen Xers are starting to retire, which doesn't jive with "number of good working years". And surely your mid 30s is when you start climbing the greasy pole enough to wield significant power?

    Maybe a better way of stating it is, no longer busy with children, where millenials are busy with that as a distraction.

      Maybe. I agree with the general thrust of you argument, and I don't think that really detracts from the argument either. I think it just comes down to differing interpretations of significant influence. Gen Xers have reached peak power. World leaders and CEOs are probably overwhelmingly Gen Xers. Up and coming politician and Managers and CEOs of new industries are probably Millenials, they are currently gaining significant influence. But as I said, I agree with you, so don't really want to argue semantics :)
