1st Millennial recession (work, definition, employer, dollars)

[vision33r]

This will mark the Millennial gen's 1st recession of their work experience. The last 2 didn't affect them because they were not within working age. This will be a real learning experience and test for many millennial works that never been forced to compete on the employer's terms. The last decade, employers had to change their hiring standards to meet the millennial worker's terms.

What? No. Older millenials born in the mid to late 80s were hit hard by the 2008 recession. My career was put on hold for a few years because of it.

Unfortunately, this crash is shaping to be much worse. For everyone.

Plenty of millenials got hit by the last recession.

On a different note you sound almost gleeful.

This is the first downturn of any real scale for anyone with a living memory. The last truly significant recession was the postwar crash of 1945. Neither 2001 nor 2008 come close to the real recession/depressions since 1900 except in inflated dollars.

Are you aware that we had a recession from 2007-2009? Were you around during that time?

This is simply inaccurate. By Pew’s definition I’m a millennial and I’ve spent more than 20 years at the same employer so this isn’t my first go round

Our's born 1985.
He was affected by 9/11-dotcom as he left for college, 2002
He was again affected as he got out of grad school-post grad internships. 2007-2009

Millennials are going to struggle like hell to make a living. So will formerly retired boomers as they will need to enter the workforce again.
