Generation We - the Millennials

Today 6% of the workforce is made up of Millennials (@1980-2000).

By 2018 - it will be 43% - the largest block.

Boomers will drop from 50% to 24%.

GenX will drop for 38% to 33%.

In the next five years 60% of current CEO will be retired.

If you didn't notice the ground shift on November 4th - you were asleep.

By 2016 Millennials will be the largest voting block. They won't stay home for this next election - in fact they are getting ready NOW. They have good reason too - and - they think they can make a difference.

Is your company or organization ready? If you haven't already begun to introduce these kids into your leadership circles - you may be too late to get their attention.

At the recent CoreNet Global Summit we learned that Boeing has begun to design new facilities for the Jr. High kids that will be filling them when these buildings come on line in the next ten years.

Watch the video. If you are worried about these "slackers" who show no respect and want weekends and an occasional Tuesday off - don't be.
