Gen Z has a keen eye on work-life balance. A recent study sampling 35,000 workers across 34 markets, found that almost two in four Gen Z individuals would prefer to be unemployed over being stuck in a job they don't like.
Employed Gen Z respondents are more likely to report that the pay they receive for their work does not allow them a good quality of life (26 percent, compared with 20 percent of other respondents) and are less likely than others to report feeling fairly recognized and rewarded for their work (56 percent, compared with ...
Gen Z, people born between 1997 to 2012, will make up a third of the workforce by the end of the decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the 13% who are already in the workplace are making waves and breaking tradition.
A Disproportionate Number of Gen Z and Gen X Are Unemployed and In Need of Work. According to GOBankingRates' survey, 12% of Americans are currently experiencing unemployment and on the hunt for a new job.
The report revealed that good work-life balance and learning and development opportunities were the top priorities for respondents when choosing an employer. It also showed that 45% of Gen Zers feel burned out due to their work environment and 44% have left jobs due to workload pressure.
The Great Resignation — also known as the “Great Reshuffle” — refers to the exodus of workers during the pandemic. Employees left their jobs for higher pay or what they perceived as greener pastures. “Now we're seeing a little bit of a settling [down], yet it's still a really tight labor market,” Stallbaumer added.
Generation Z (10-24 years old) represent 18 per cent of Australia and 30 per cent of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.
Millennials want more. They want to be the boss. Many would ask why young people who face so much criticism from older generations would have such optimism, and to answer that question, you have to look at a few important factors.
One-third (32%) of Gen Z respondents say they are the hardest-working generation ever, with Millennials ranked as the second-hardest working generation at 25%.
They are pragmatic and value direct communication, authenticity and relevance. They also value self-care. They may be more likely than older people were when they were the age of the Gen Zers to question rules and authority because they are so used to finding what they need on their own.
Born between 1995 and 2010, this generation have already found themselves up against immense challenges as they make their way into adulthood: climate change, inequality and social unrest, political division, economic distress and more.
Gen Z is very concerned about their ability to communicate and forge strong interpersonal relationships. This may be due to the fact that technology has negatively impacted their cognitive skill development, and they recognize that their social skills, like critical thinking and communication, are weak.
76% believe they are responsible for their career development. The Kronos Inc survey shows the priorities Generation Z has when it comes to their work ethic.

70% of Gen Z say that anxiety and depression are significant problems among their peers. ² 30% of parents surveyed felt that their child was experiencing negative effects on their emotional or mental health due to social distancing and school closures.
Coming from a world where the economy was thriving and opportunities were booming, baby boomers tend to be driven in terms of their work ethic. Many people in this generation had an opportunity for a career and a university education, unlike their counterparts earlier in history.
Gen Z is also the smartest and best educated generation. Having an unlimited wealth of information at our disposal has not gone to waste. In America, 57 percent of Gen Z is reported to have enrolled in a two-year or four-year college, compared to 52 percent of Millenials and 43 percent of Gen X.
Millennials are arguably the hardest working generation in the workforce today, albeit how they approach work looks drastically different than their older counterparts. Boomers typically approach work in a hierarchical structure.
They are seen as digital integrators, having integrated technology seamlessly into their lives. They opt to watch an on-demand video summarising an issue, and prefer messages with images, visuals and sounds over text, and simple, short, and interactive content.
New data released on Tuesday from the latest census shows that Australia's millennial generation is becoming the nation's largest, displacing the postwar baby boomers.
The research, conducted in June through December 2020, focused on Gen Z parents (20-24 years-old).
The pandemic brought quiet quitting into the spotlight as it flipped work culture upside down. More people had time to think about and question their careers and seeking more work-life balance, according to LinkedIn's Global Talent Trends 2022 report.
