Probably because the Xers are tend to be competent and don't need much supervision. The lack of an entitlement mentality is simply a bonus from the employer's point of view.
I have found Generation X much more competent and creative than the media stereotypes. In the 1980s they were more likely to trust employers than any other generation, perhaps even believing the trickle-down rubbish.
