Millennials Taking Longer to Live on Their Own, Says New Report

Happy Friday one and all! As we head into the weekend, there’s a new report we simply have to share. (Yes, we really do get excited about such announcements!)

Millennial Branding partnered with PayScale for their second annual study on the state of generations at work, namely Gen Y, Gen X and Baby Boomers. Their main finding? It’s taking Millennials longer to live on their own than previous generations.

Outlining changing demographics across generations, overall Boomers are delaying retirement, the percentage of Gen Y employees managing people declined by 15 percent in a year, and Millennials are starting their professional lives later.

Per the release, PayScale’s lead economist Katie Bardaro dished, “Similar to other studies, our research reinforces that the sluggish and uncertain economy has made a significant impact on the perspectives and experiences of not only Generation Y, but also Generation X and Baby Boomers.”
