Still, older Americans were critical to the GOPs success in midterm elections this month. About 22 percent of the electorate was 65 and older, and Republican candidates won their vote by a 16-point margin, Pew data show. How will the baby boom and the gen Xers fair in the new normal for American workers? The median family net worth of Americans 75 and older was $194,800 last year adjusted for inflation, compared with $130,900 in 1989, the Fed data show. Members of the Silent Generation are currently about ages 69 to 86. With the youngest of the group eligible to start retirement in 2007, they had some protection against the largest financial downturn in the post-World War II era. The title of richest ever will probably go unchallenged for now as the hit to net worth for the two subsequent generations -- late-wave baby boomers and much of Generation X -- will be difficult to recoup before those groups begin to leave the workforce, Emmons said. what can this country do to help these generations who saw their economic lives so very disrupted by failed economic policy?
