We interviewed 19,000 Millennials as part of our recent report Millennial Careers: 2020 Vision, and found that they are surprisingly upbeat about their future careers. Two-thirds are optimistic about their immediate job prospects. Added to this, 62% are confident they could find equally good, or better, employment within three months, if they lost their main source of income tomorrow.
However, 12% told us they didn’t think they would ever be in a position to retire. They have a career ultramarathon ahead of them – and they know it.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that they’re planning for the long-haul. As a result, they’re looking for work that increases their long-term employability. They’re not the job-hoppers some would have us believe. Given the chance, they will move on and move up, but more often than not they expect to advance with the same employer.
