@iaparent, in an IMO otherwise intriguing analysis, includes the following:

First neither complaint is against the boomers, those averages fall directly to Gen X (realizing in an average there will be some above and below the average).

I think this part of your analysis falls apart—Gen-X isn’t of traditional retirement age yet, whereas most (though not all yet!) of the Boomers are. If the core issue is people not retiring at the ages they used to (which is certainly the case in both K–12 and especially postsecondary education but not so much for engineering, the sectors I have the most opportunity for observation), then Gen-X is exempt for another decade.
