If the average income is $20K, that's a FTE hourly wage of $10/hr
Millennial is defined as 23-38, or 18-33, given the date on the image, so an average of 25.5 years old.

alot of us zoomers have grown up witnessing the generation before us behave just like this, which is why zoomers are harder working, more entrepenurial, and more conservative than the millenials. we don't want to grow up to be losers & failures like the generation before us.

Forbs Aricle on why Gen Z is already more successful than Millenials

1. Gen Z Is Motivated By Security

While millennials are often seen as more idealistic, and more motivated by purpose than a paycheck, Generation Z may lean more toward security and money. This is a pragmatic generation — they care about making a difference, but are ultimately motivated by ensuring they have a secure life outside of work.

2. 2. Gen Z May Be More Competitive

Gen Z, on the other hand, is said to be defined by its competitiveness. They want to work on their own and be judged on their own merits rather than those of their team.

Gen Z also understands that there’s a need for constant skill development in order to stay relevant. Their parents likely taught them the importance of working hard, and that no one will hand them their success. This generation is willing to work hard, but they expect to be rewarded for it.

3. Gen Z Wants Independence

Gen Zers’ independence ties into their competitiveness, but they generally like to work alone. Many of them prefer to have office space to themselves, rather than an open, collaborative workspace. Many also want to manage their own projects so that their skills and abilities can shine through. They do not want to depend on other people to get their work done.

4. Gen Z Will Multitask (More Than Millennials)

If you thought your millennial employees were easily distracted, always flipping between texts and emails, just wait until you start working with members of Gen Z! These young people have always lived in a connected world, and they’re used to constant updates from dozens of apps. Switching between different tasks and paying simultaneous attention to a wide range of stimuli comes naturally to them.

This can be perfect for a workplace that requires multitasking. If you’re looking for employees who can focus deeply on a task for a long period of time, make sure that’s communicated to potential Gen Z employees. And, if you see them looking at their phone during work hours, don’t assume that will distract them for ages — they’re used to spending five seconds checking for updates before returning to the task at hand.

5. Gen Z Is More Entrepreneurial

Generation Z is 55% more likely to want to start a business than millennials. In fact, a full 72% of Gen Z high school students say that they want to start a business. This can be tied back to many of their traits — especially the independence and desire for financial success. They are highly motivated and willing to work hard to achieve their dreams.

These budding entrepreneurs can make great employees. They are likely to soak up as much knowledge as they can and take on many different challenges as they pursue their goal of starting their own company in the future.

6. Gen Z Wants To Communicate Face To Face

You may have just gotten used to your millennial employees preferring to communicate over email or Slack, but be prepared to switch it up again. Generation Z likes to talk face to face. Fifty-three percent of Generation Z said they prefer in-person discussion over instant messaging or email.

You may have just gotten used to your millennial employees preferring to communicate over email or Slack, but be prepared to switch it up again. Generation Z likes to talk face to face. Fifty-three percent of Generation Z said they prefer in-person discussion over instant messaging or email.

This can be attributed to the negative attention they’ve seen millennials receive for their reliance on technology, or because the technology they’ve grown up with (Skype, Snapchat) has allowed people to communicate with a full range of sound and motion, instead of just text. Be prepared for regular in-person meetings with your Gen Z employees to discuss their projects as well as their professional development.

7. Gen Z Are True Digital Natives

Millennials have long been described as digital natives, but they actually grew up in a world that was still full of landlines and dial-up internet. They’re used to progress taking time, and are just as confused by some of the newest apps as baby boomers are. Gen Z, on the other hand, has been living in a world of smartphones and free Wi-Fi for as long as they can remember. Ninety-two percent of them have some sort of digital footprint.

They easily flit between platforms and technologies and pick up new software quickly. Their relationship to technology may be even more instinctual than that of a millennial in their late 30s.

> Goldman Sachs is over millennials — it's time to talk about the larger, and more influential, Gen-Z

In a note to clients Wednesday, analysts at Goldman Sachs argued that while much has been made of millennials in the media and investment community, the generation that follows millennials — known as "snake people" — matters more.

"America's youngest generation, 'Gen-Z' or those born after 1998, are now entering their formative years and rising in influence," Goldman writes.

The firm adds:

At nearly 70 million in size and growing, the eldest of which are now entering college and/or the workforce, this cohort will soon outnumber their Millennial predecessors. Raised by Gen-X parents during a time marred by economic stress, rising student debt burdens, socio-economic tensions and war overseas, these youths carry a less idealistic, more pragmatic perspective on the world. Born device in-hand, Gen-Z is America's first generation of true "digital-natives" and they will be America’s most diverse to-date (first to be majority non-white). Over the past several years, educators, employers, researchers, retailers and the like have spent significant time and resources dissecting the Millennial mindset. But the time has already come to focus to Gen-Z, which promises to be just as, if not more, influential.

So I guess that's it: Millennials have had their day in the sun, and now it's over.

>>13223174
> Goldman Sachs is over millennials — it's time to talk about the larger, and more influential, Gen-Z

In Goldman's view, the reason it's time to move on from millennials is that Gen-Z simply represents a bigger, more important change in the US than millennials ever did.

Financially, Goldman thinks Gen-Zers will be a more financial conservative generation, with 46% of Gen-Zers saying in a recent TD Ameritrade survey that they are worried about accruing student loan debt, something that has hamstrung many millennials (who are, in some cases, still stuck in their parents' house instead of forming new households and starting families).

Millennials, then, were in a lot of ways merely younger versions of their Baby Boomer parents with a little bit more digital fluency and a lot more student debt.

And on top of all this, the simple reason Gen-Z matters more is that they will soon be a bigger generation than millennials.

Also DC, by virtue of its borders is entirely urban, much of it very expensive to live in so most people in the area that cannot afford it live in Virginia, its a quirk of borders more than anything. If you drew a similarly small box around Manhattan and Brooklyn, or the North side of Chicago, or the nice part of any city, excluding much of the ghetto and all of the surrounding rural areas where cost of living is usually much lower you would see a similar effect.

Most boomers will die in the greatest amount of debt of any generation and because nothing has been done about the onslaught of outsourcing, job visas, and illegal immigration they will be passing on at best nothing but in actuality tremendous debt. The most selfish generation will be the most expensive generation in old age and death. The issue is millennials will not have the wealth to support it and zoomers will have even less wealth than millennials when they come of age.

> $68 trillion is about to change hands in the US

The biggest wealth transfer in history is about to happen — and it’s now expected to be more than double what many thought it was. It’s estimated that 45 million U.S. households will transfer $68 trillion in wealth over the next 25 years, according to Asher Cheses, a research analyst and lead author of a new report from financial services research firm Cerulli Associates.

Baby boomers, who hold the lion’s share of that amount, are the wealthiest generation in American history — thanks in no small part to a 10-year bull market. That generation will pass down those assets over the next few decades.

Millennials Will Become Richest Generation In American History As Baby Boomers Transfer Over Their Wealth

A study shows that Millennials will hold five times as much wealth as they have today and the group is anticipated to inherit over $68 trillion from their Baby Boomer parents by the year 2030. This will represent one of the greatest wealth transfers in the modern times.

For a lot of baby boomers they kept on running up massive credit card debt and when the downsizing hit in the late 80's or early 90's the economy for them never got better. They saw through out the 90's whatever benefits like healthcare and pensions go up in a puff of smoke. Though they'll have better benefits than xers, millennials, or zoomers will ever see. This is all a product of the post-war prosperity cool off but it has been greatly accelerated by outsourcing to a catastrophic degree. Then again when you see things getting worse you don't keep living like there are no difficulties by just plopping it on a charge card.

It is still funny to think my parents saw no problem in having a credit card for every store and then a few major credit cards on top of it. They did this knowing the economic outlook for them was not keeping up with inflation.

The Labor Force Participation Rate, a percentage of the population currently employed, is at about 63.3 percent and was at 66.0 ten years ago. The unemployment rate in 2009 was 9.9%. So if Unemployment went down 6% and participation in the labor force went down 3.3%, That's not additional employment driving numbers down, it has to be something else.

The US retirement rate was 13.1% in 2009 and was last rated in 2018 at 16%.
