I wouldn't be surprised if large number of parents of the 30-in-197X'ers were massively impacted by ww2.
Imagine growing up during the great depression and 'losing' 2-4 years of your young adulthood in the army. You'd expect that'd set you back earnings-wise by the time you hit 30.
It'd be a surprise if the folks turning 30 in 1972 didnt make more than their parents, if you compare depression+world war to the postwar rebound (especially in the USA)
