The enormous size of the Baby-Boom generation ensures that when it sneezes the nation catches a cold. Today, the United States has pneumonia, struggling to recover from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The collapse and subsequent paralysis of the housing market has decimated the net worth of Boomers, millions of them on the brink of retirement. The seventh edition of The Baby Boom: Americans Born 1946 to 1964 is your strategic guide to the changing socioeconomic status of this important generation of Americans.

The third edition of American Health: Demographics and Spending of Health Care Consumers provides a comprehensive look at the demographics of health care consumers and the services they use, ranging from fish oil supplements to mammograms, from doctor visits to birth control pills. American Health includes detailed health care spending data from the federal government's highly respected Consumer Expenditure Survey and the less well-known Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. It presents the latest data on health care coverage and the reasons why people do not have health insurance. It has the latest information on the growing girth of the population, in pounds and percentages. It examines teen attitudes toward sex and teen and adult use of contraception. It explores the changing attitudes of Americans toward the role of the federal government in providing health care in the United States. American Health is divided into 14 chapters, each examining a different facet of health care. The topics are Addictions, Aging, Alternative Medicine, Attitudes toward Health Care, Births, Coverage and Cost, Deaths, Disability, Diseases and Conditions, Health Care Visits, Hospital Care, Mental Health, Sexual Attitudes and Behavior, and Weight and Exercise. Each chapter includes tables showing the demographics of health care consumers as well as explanatory text and charts revealing the most important trends.

The sixth edition of Racial and Ethnic Diversity is a profile of a U.S. population that is growing more diverse much faster than many had predicted. Hispanics are the largest minority, Asians are the most affluent, and blacks are making big gains in education and earnings. New to this edition of Racial and Ethnic Diversity is a chapter on attitudes by race and Hispanic origin that is based on data from the recently released 2008 General Social Survey. You also get, in addition to detailed estimates and projections of the U.S. population by race and Hispanic origin, the latest socioeconomic data on blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indians. Also included are data the spending of Asian, black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white households, plus the latest wealth data from the Survey of Consumer Finances. Unpublished data from the American Time Use Survey, broken out by race and Hispanic origin, reveal how each group, including Asians and American Indians, prioritize the average day. New population projections to 2025 are in this volume, as well as tables on college enrollment, retirement plan participation, and the use of alternative medicine. Racial and Ethnic Diversity is designed for easy use. It is divided into five sections devoted to the major racial and ethnic groups: American Indians, Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and Non-Hispanic Whites. A sixth section provides comparative information for the Total Population. Also included is a seventh section on attitudes by race and Hispanic origin. Within chapters, where data are available, identically structured tables appear for each racial group. Racial and Ethnic Diversity gives you the opportunity to discover the many ways Americans are the same-and different. With such knowledge, you will be closer to understanding where the future will take us.
