Gen Z is expected to overtake baby boomers in the workforce by next year, per a new analysis of census data from Glassdoor.
Why it matters: The workplace is giving more Gen Z energy — and if you don't understand what that means, it's time to bone up on the younger generation's lingo and work style.
Zoom in: The work world will surely adapt to Gen Z's ways, as it once did for Gen X (which pushed for more work-life balance) and for millennials, who brought us job hopping and, of course, avocado toast.
- Still, Gen Z (known as zoomers) will have to wait a while before it asserts control. Millennials will dominate the workforce until sometime in the early 2040s, according to Glassdoor's estimates.
