When I was in college and early 20s, I usually had 2-4 different jobs at any given time.
There's a demographic component to this that seems missing, given that we have two big baby booms behind Gen Xers (millennials who I guess are old now) and Gen Z.
Is the share of workers 20-30 today higher than the share among 20-30 year olds in 1996?
