what year started baby boomers
Baby boomers are a designated group of people who were born between 1946 and 1964. They are labeled as 'baby boomers' because during this period of time, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of births that occurred. In 1946, the first year of the 'boom,' there were 3.4 million babies born in the U.S., a record number during a 1-year period.
