Millennials are often regarded as being a "different" workforce. However, each generation has had its own quirks.
Boomers are seen as the long-haired, rebellious hippies of the '60s who wanted to challenge the status quo and sometimes still do. They've historically been the largest generation in the workforce, but that dominance no longer holds.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, millennials (age 18-34) surpassed the baby boom generation in 2015 by having 75.3 million move into the workforce. Moreover, their numbers are expected to peak at 81.1 million in 2036.
|New-world habits can be hard to break
Millennials have grown up in world where technology is pervasive and is moving more and more to mobile devices. The downside is mobile technology enables them to use their devices basically anywhere from the kitchen counter or dining table to in bed or on the couch while gaming or interacting on social media – yet rarely at a workstation. As a result, they've lived and developed poor, slouching posture ever since they were old enough to turn on the device.
