Millennials are the fastest-growing generation in the U.S. workforce. The same is true in most countries around the world. In the U.S., there are about 83.5 million Millennials. They are the most diverse generation in U.S. history and have more college degrees (and college debt) than any previous employee generation, and they bring all of these issues to work.<\/p>

Millennials were born between approximately 1977 and 1995. Those born after 1995 cannot process the significance of the #1 generation-defining moment for Millennials: September 11, 2001. In other words, if 9\/11 has always been history to you, then you are not a Millennial; you are a part of the generation after Millennials\u2014known as Gen Z or iGen<\/a>.<\/p>

Millennials, also known as Generation Y and Echo Boomers, are currently around 21 to 39 years old. This age range is particularly important in the workplace because it covers a broad series of major life events, ranging from graduating from college to living independently, buying a house, getting married and becoming a parent.<\/p>

One of the most interesting\u2014and least discussed\u2014ideas about Millennials is that they are breaking into two different generational groups. One group of Millennials is reaching all the traditional markers of adulthood, though a few years later than previous generations. This group is working toward careers and entering their wealth accumulation life phase, commanding more power in the workplace. The other group of Millennials, however, is not creating \u201creal-world traction.\u201d This is the group you\u2019ve probably heard most about\u2014they still live at home and let Mom pay their cell phone bill.<\/p>

By the time Millennials reach age 30, they will self-select into one group or the other and can no longer relate to the other segment of their generation<\/em>. These divergent trajectories will have profound implications for the workforce, marketplace, government, economy, and more.<\/p>

In fact, the group most offended by Millennials who act entitled is other Millennials who do not feel entitled. The unentitled Millennials think that the rest of the generation is giving them a bad reputation!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Millennials are entering the workforce at a later age than ever before. This is important because it means that Millennials end up with less work experience than previous generations of the same age. A Baby Boomer\u2019s resume at age 25 looked a lot different from a Millennial\u2019s resume at age 25 today.\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Millennials are a largely visual generation. Their most trusted learning resource is YouTube. Companies have been slow to adapt their onboarding and training processes to align with how Millennials prefer to learn, creating big challenges as they enter and advance through the workforce.\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
