Below is a list of all the Senators serving in the 110th Congress, sorted by birth year (compiled from the individual Wikipedia pages.)
Using the generational boundaries as identified by authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, in their book Generations (ISBN 0-688-11912-3) (1992), the generational breakdown of the Senate for the 110th Congress is as follows:
| Generation | Birth Years | Count |
|---|---|---|
| GI Generation | 1901 – 1924 | 5 |
| Silent Generation | 1925 – 1942 | 37 |
| Boomer Generation | 1943 – 1960 | 53 |
| Generation X | 1960 – 1981 | 4 |
The oldest members of the following generation, "Generation Y," (1982-2001) are not yet eligible for election to the Senate (which has a minimum age of thirty), and will not be eligible until 2012.
