First, the unemployment rate numbers are fudged by UNDERemployment, especially by millennials. It's a BS statistic and more people need to realize this. Moving on, I'm a millennial that doesn't work as an engineer/developer/programmer/etc. I make less than $100,000 and I live in a major US city because that's where the jobs are. As noted in the article, it really also comes down to wages just as--but perhaps more than--hours put in. But there's just so much more that is contributing to burnout and the inseparable turnover. Rant incoming. EVERY educated and skilled millennial I know like me (non-"STEM") is job hopping like crazy for that ever-so-slight raise and hope that the grass is greener on the other side. Our resumes are getting PACKED with 6-month and 1-year gigs. Nearly every day on my LinkedIn feed I see someone leaving somewhere and getting a new job. There are just so many things wrong with the workplace resulting in burnout and turnover today for millennials (humans): - We're sick of being paid poorly; a dog-friendly office, free snacks, hip lighting in the lobby, standing desks, and free Friday lunch doesn't make up for poor pay - We're often sick of overpaid-and-often-less-skilled supervisors above us and especially the even more bloated and overpaid management above them - We're sick of positions where we have no opportunities for growth or development of skills or discovering something new - We're sick of working with fellow millenials who give even less of a crap than us so they're just lazy and don't pull their weight until they find the next gig--and we often have to pull their weight for them - We're sick of interviewing in-person and never hearing a word back from crap recruiting and human resources teams - We're sick of being hired on as "freelancer" or "contract" employees so that we're denied benefits even though we dedicate 40+ hours per week to a company
