4 Million U.S. Baby BOOMers Turn 50 in 2008










Another boomer turns 50 every 8.5 seconds.
WOW! Is that possible?
The year 1957 was the "peak" year for the number of births in the U.S. Now using data from 50 years ago - 1958 - when 4,255,000 boomers were born:Let's suppose that some of them have not made it this far, so let's round it down to 4,000,000. (That's just an estimate). So, a bit more than 4,000,000 will turn 50 in 2008. Here is the breakdown of people turning 50 in 2008:
per year:
4,000,000
per day (4.0 mil / 365):
10,958
per hour (10.6 k / 24):
456
per minute (456 / 60):
7.1
