The last of the Boomers are still working, and don't forget, some of them have already died. When you look at the numbers in this article
Millennials overtake Baby Boomers as America’s largest generation | Pew Research Center, there are, or were, 76 million Boomers. There are 66 million Millennials. While there are only 55 million Gen Xers, the post-Millennials total 69 million, the youngest of whom are entering the work force.
*Sorry lovecrowds. This was off topic. While I agree with the others, I see your point. The working poor may eventually get a few benefits, but housing isn't usually on the list. It's the same with older people who can't replace a job, don't have much in retirement savings, and are too young to collect Social Security.
