Get ready for Gen Z, employers. First hint: They are not millennials
Baltimore Sun via Star Tribune ^ | 5/19/19 | LORRAINE MIRABELLA

“With Gen Z … we have to show them rather than just talking about it,” said Michelle Jordan, an assistant vice president of HR development and college recruiting.

Move over, millennials. The next generation is just starting to make its way into the workforce, and employers are taking note.

The first wave of Generation Z, those born after 1996 and more than 60 million strong, will start moving from college to career this year. These newest workers come from the first post-Sept. 11 generation, one that’s grown up with social media and smartphones, watched their parents go through the housing bust and a deep recession, and come of age amid political polarization and soaring college debt. It’s little wonder they are pegged as anxiety-ridden, but experts say they are also independent, pragmatic and super-connected.

You know all those Indians that have moved here, well their Americanized offspring are in the process of graduating high school and college.

Employers don’t care about how connected they are, they are about work ethic, showing up, getting things done.

We need to be nice to young people and convert them to conservativism.

Don’t let ONLY liberals be their friends.

People who buy into this nonsense are just stupid. If history and literature has demonstrated anything, it has demonstrated that the same personality types and behavior patterns have been present throughout human history. These politically correct pronouncements are at their core self gratifying delusions.

And, it seems, moved their older parents in to live with them (in their very nice homes). The Indian people seem more like old world Americans than most Americans have become.

FYI

Z is the last generation which began in 1996.

Reason is the Mayan calender ended in 2012...Z forecasted to be the last.

My kids are friends with several of them, and they are all good kids with bright futures.

People who buy into this nonsense are just stupid.

The reporters who write these stories are obsessed by the idea that they can be the first to be "onto something," like a trend or a social phenomenon.

That's all it is, just meaningless bla-bla, attention seeking.

As Don Henley said in Dirty Laundry, "I just have to look good I don't have to be clear."

I’ve found Indians to be very culturally compatible with Americans, from when Americans were Americans.

It's a demographic the GOP needs to capture.

You also have to take into account that they have no emotional attachment to 9/11. You can explain the significance to them until you’re blue in the face and it still won’t mean much to them.

There are a lot of good kids out there. Depends on their upbringing. As always.

I have too, in fact with most Asian who come here. They would fit in very well in a 1950s America.

I was born years after Pearl Harbor, but I still had an emotional attachment to it.

Look like some need to push back from the groceries.

Apu? Thought they specialized in c-store administration.
