Generation Y

Some economic issues have arisen as a result of a new generation becoming dominant in the workforce. Generation Y's broadest definition is those Americans born between 1977 and 2002. Because of generation Y's high expectations, ongoing learning, immediate responsibility, and desire to be goal-oriented, there have been changes in workforce trends. One issue discussed in this article is turnover. It says that younger professionals are not afraid to change jobs because of recent business scandals that seem to have been caused, in part, by job loyalty. Another reason for this is that generation Y is not as afraid to question their superiors. It said this generation grew up questioning their parents and are not afraid to question employers. I agree.
