Quarter-Life Crisis Becoming a Quarter-Life + 10 years crisis?

In the midst of editing my research-based argument, I took a Yahoo break and happened to stumble upon this article that claims the real generation facing a crisis are Gen Xers, who are 33 to 44 years of age. The article describes how Gen Xers are facing discontentment as the recession is hitting them the hardest. Apparently, companies are more eager to hire young, enthusiastic members of Generation Y than the "mobile" and "disloyal" (as they have come to be stereotyped) workers of Gen X.

This article was particularly surprising to me because I've spent the past month or so researching the current quarter-life crisis, and have found plentiful evidence on member of Generation Y who are experiencing extreme difficulty finding jobs right now because of the economy. That's why the lede of this article, "A good number of them are just waiting for the economy to pick up so they can hop on to the next job, find something more fulfilling and get what they think they deserve" is so striking because it sounds like a description of Generation Y.

Generation X, which has often been described as the "jaded" generation, doesn't come up in news as much as the Baby Boomers or Generation Y. It was interesting to read this article because it calls attention to the fact that there is no age limit for discontent, particularly in the workplace. Young adults and middle-aged Americans aren't the only ones facing crises.
