Unless I am calculating incorrectly, roughly 45.7% of the total population is age 30-64 and roughly 14% are under 9 yrs old and 12.7% are 65 or over. That leaves 27.6% between 14 and 29 yrs old. The baby boomer generation is the one all of the big companies are after. They have the numbers and they have the cash.
