Pew looked at five groups of Americans and measured each group's financial losses from 2007 to 2010.

Depression babies – born between 1926 and 1935 and now 78 to 87 years old; median net worth was $207,500 in 2010 and had not changed from 2007.

War babies – born between 1936 and 1945 and now 68 to 77 years old; median net worth in 2010 of $212,300, down about $53,500 or 20 percent from 2007.
