Rate of Generation X Advancement — It appears that as the Baby Boom enters retirement it is creating a vacuum allowing Generation X to advance at a younger age. Is this true?

It has been postulated for a long time that the smaller size of Generation X would create a shortage of rising managers. To our knowledge, no one has ever quantified this. The premise is based on supposition. With the Boomers projected to stay in the workplace for a longer period of time, all bets are off.
