Conclusion
Two large surveys of college graduates reveal remarkable similarities in workplace preferences between Baby Boomers and Generation Y—the oldest and youngest groups in the emerging workforce. Both Boomers and Gen Ys want to contribute to society through their labor; seek flexible working arrangements; value social connections at work and loyalty to a company; and prize other rewards of employment over monetary compensation. Given the large size of these generational cohorts—relative to Generation X, which lies between them—their workplace demands have significant practical implications for how employers should design work environments to attract and keep talent.
