Web Safari: Millennials

There have been all kinds of articles and such about my generation, as we are beginning to move into the workforce and everyone is trying to "figure us out" so to speak.

The first link is a look at what millennials mean for the workforce. It is a quite balanced article - it covers the positives that are unique and the differences that don't fit us easily into the modern workplace of the Boomers and Xers.

The next link is a look from the political side. Apparently a majority of millennials fit into the "progressive" mentality. My personal experience is that millennials are less willing to fit themselves into the Republican-Democrat boxes that have been prominent for the past several decades. Millennials also appear to be much much more interested and involved in politics than recent generations. It will be interesting to see what happens as we all mature and settle down with families.

A comparison of Generation X and Millennials.

A look at some of the factors and events that shaped/are shaping Millennials.

A blog devoted to issues relating to Millennials.

A NY Times article that discusses methods of communication and spreading news. A lot of what they say is true...people my age find information exactly the way I did here...you get a link from a friend via email or blog, you share what you read by blogging or emailing about it. I was thinking about the characteristics of my generation recently, as I have been considering ways to reach out to younger audiences for my job. So I went to Google and searched for articles relating to millennials. Then I skimmed through, found other links, etc. And now I'm sharing them with you!
