10/8/2008: Younger Workers Hurt When Boomers Can't Afford to Retire (Employee Benefit News; free registration required)
Excerpt: "The first wave of baby boomers is scheduled to retire in 2011 - the same year my daughter graduates from college. Will a big percentage of the 4 million college graduates wind up jobless because my generation's 3.4 million baby boomers can't afford to retire? Even if Barack Obama or John McCain convinces Congress to adopt my proposal of a mandatory 401(k) contribution at 9% of pay, it won't be enough for the baby boomers who are scheduled to head out the door."
