The justsell.com guys reference an interesting study that came out last month<\/a> regarding the Millennial generation (born between 1979 and 2001). I know, I doubt they received much input from the 5 year olds. Anyway, the study indicates some distinct trends amongst the generation just out of college.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the poll finds that as Millennials begin to enter the workforce, they not only have high expectations for themselves, but also for their employers. Nearly eight out of ten<\/strong> want to work for a company that cares about how it contributes to society, while more than half would refuse to work for an irresponsible corporation. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Certainly the Enron, Global Crossing, WorldCom scandals have had an impact on these young, idealistic people. It appears that only 28% of the respondents are full-time employees today, but obviously that number will grow.<\/p>\n

Millennials Have High Expectations of their Employers (of the 28% who describe themselves as full-time employees.) <\/p>\n
