There’s no denying that Generation Z (Gen Z) represents the future of the American workforce. Gen Z is already projected to overtake Baby Boomers in terms of U.S. workforce representation in 2024, and by 2030, it’s estimated that Gen Z will make up 30% of the total workforce.
This means employers would do well to get to know this youngest group of American workers and understand what motivates them, what makes them tick, and how they are similar to and distinct from their older colleagues.
