There’s been a lot of talk lately about how Millennials can’t stick with a job.
In Forbes recently, it was a survey about the three main reasons Millennials quit their jobs. And the Atlantic declared most Millennials leave their jobs within 3 years.
We spoke with Richard Fry, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center. He says a lot of the research that’s been reported on this directly compares older workers today to younger, Millennial workers today. And, yes, younger workers are more likely to job hop than older workers. But that’s always been the case.
Fry went into the Bureau of Labor Statistics data that shows how long workers have been with their current employer. He looked at 18- to 35-year-olds today — the infamous Millennials — and at 18- to 35-year-olds in the late '90s around 2000, the Gen-Xers.
