Pew Research Center Sets Millennial Birth Years

Pew Research Center has decided on its official birth years for the Millennial Generation: 1981-1996. We’ll agree to disagree: Generations typically span around 20 birth years, and cutting off the Millennial Generation at 2004 (as we do) ensures that even the youngest remember a time before the GFC and the election of Barack Obama.
