interesting article.
what are you observing in the work place as gen z enters? Are they markedly different from millenials in your experience?
Early signs suggest Gen Z workers are more competitive and pragmatic, but also more anxious and reserved, than millennials,
The broad result is a scarred generation, cautious and hardened by economic and social turbulence.
“They’re more like children of the 1930s, if children of the 1930s had learned to think, learn and communicate while attached to hand-held supercomputers,”
Gen Z’s attitudes about work reflect a craving for financial security. The share of college freshmen nationwide who prioritize becoming well off rose to around 82% when Gen Z began entering college a few years ago, according to the University of California, Los Angeles. That is the highest level since the school began surveying the subject in 1966. The lowest point was 36% in 1970.
are more willing to work overtime than most millennials,
Gen Z is literally sober. Data from the Michigan survey and federal statistics show they were less likely to have tried alcohol, gotten their driver’s licenses, had sex or gone out regularly without their parents than teens of the previous two or three generations, Ms. Twenge, the San Diego State professor, found.
So if Gen Z values safety and security first - does that mean Gen Z is going to flood the federal job market big time after millenials weren't interested in fed jobs that much?
