Millennial employees are no more likely to job-hop than Generation X workers did when they were young adults, statistics show.
In fact, college-educated millennial workers — those ages 18 to 35 — remain at their jobs longer than Gen X workers did when they were the same age.
These findings, compiled by the Pew Research Center, are based on U.S. Department of Labor data on how long employees have been with their current employers. The questions on tenure began only in 1996, so the center could only compare millennial workers with Gen X workers when they were the same age.
“One factor that may be contributing to Millennials staying with employers longer is their relatively high levels of education, which is typically associated with longer tenure,” the center said.
