Au contraire, boomers and gen x were the first ones to see their jobs destroyed. The offshore movement of manufacturing started in the 1980s, and that hit boomers, and overlapped into gen x. The working class boomers and early gen x were hit very hard. Not a few of them are now dead as a direct result of this due to suicide and drug addiction.
You can go back even further, to the 1970's. Look up the "Rust Belt" of America. That's when all those single-income factory jobs were destroyed because the owners could save a few pennies pulling up stakes and moving the entire company overseas. Company owners got to have their sweatshops while America switched from a manufacturing nation to a retail nation.
This deepened the rot of feminism because oops retail doesn't pay nearly as well, so it increased the demand for two-income households, which meant fewer stay at home moms to properly raise the kids, etc.

Yes and even despite all that, boomers have the largest share of national wealth ever seen in the history of western society.

Sure 2 million manufacturing jobs lost between 1980-2000 and 5.5 between 2000 and 2018. That’s what 7.5 million? There’s 32 million immigrants employed in the US as of 2024. That’s over 10 million more than in 2010. This of course doesn’t include the mass offshoring of white collar jobs and the DEI hiring practices either.
Not a few of them are now dead as a direct result of this due to suicide and drug addiction.
And it’s about half the rate that millennials and gen z have.
