There's still members of the Greatest Generation on the job. And obviously, there's quite a few of the Last Generation working now. They can work at age 16 or with work-permits at 15.

Understood. I don't think the generation preceding the Boomers, which I know as the Silent generation, is still working in great numbers, but I acknowledge that there are some. Although there seems to be some disagreement about when Gen Z starts, I think of them as being post 9/11, which makes them just now fifteen and too young to work in an official capacity.

Some demographers have Gen Y as 1980-1997. So under that convention there are some Gen Z that are already 18.

I believe the term Gen Y has been subsumed by Millennial and time period extended from 1982-2001. The follow-on generation -- variously called Gen Z, iGen, and Homeland -- has yet to coalesce and show a distinct pattern of behavior and influence. We'll have to wait a few more years to get a handle on them.
Boomers who complain about millennials need to look in the mirror. Who raised us? Who made us such terrible selfish people? Who bestowed these horrific unearned trophies upon us?
Millenials are your reflection.
Some of them were still so butthurt they didn't win real trophies when they were kids so they made sure their own kids would all get one. So abused because mom swatted them on the behind and made them do chores. When the gentle discipline pro-brat gurus started up with their nonsense it got the boomers and xers all worked up that they had been abused by normal parental discipline. They didn't want their own to have to suffer the same ugly fate. Its only getting worse as the government takes more rights away from parents.

The end point for Millennials (AKA Gen Y, Generation Me, Echo Boomers) is not universally agreed upon.
The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s. Many end the generation in the mid 1990s. Australia's McCrindle Research uses 1980–1994. A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers report and Edelman Berland use 1980–1995. Gallup Inc., Eventbrite and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research all use 1980–1996. Ernst and Young uses 1981–1996. Manpower Group uses 1982–1996.
Others end the generation in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Goldman Sachs, Resolution Foundation, and a 2013 Time magazine cover story all use 1980–2000. SYZYGY, a digital service agency partially owned by WPP uses 1981–1998, and the United States Census Bureau uses 1982–2000. Pew Research Center defines Millennials as being born from 1981 onwards, with no chronological end point set yet

Their noses are too buried in their smartphones, for them to give observers much clue about what they're thinking.

I beg to differ. I think the internet has allowed those who are interested to know more about what teenagers are thinking than at any other time in history. You just need to know where to look.
