Are Millennials really different?

There are lots of articles about millennials – Generation Y – or the children of baby boomers. In the next few blogs, we will explore how they are the same, how they are different and why they will forever change the world of work – for everyone.

To start, we had a writer interview a number of people from three groups – boomers, Generation X and millennials – asking three simple questions: What do you look for in a workplace? Why would you leave? What did you leave? You’ll read “Orly’s Opinion” on this very short, unscientific survey. Orly is a Gen-Xer.

Then we’ll compare the results with other surveys that have a much larger sample size, and see if our small survey is representative.

Finally, in this series of blogs, we’ll look at how and why millennials will forever change the world of work.
