Back in 2009, 41% of millennials agreed, exceeding even baby boomers in their zeal for work. Yet 13 years later, they're the cohort that cares most about work-life balance, beating even Gen Z. Back in 2009, 41% of millennials agreed or strongly agreed with that statement. By 2022, just 14% of millennials agreed that work should always come first. That makes them the generation that cares the most about a work-life balance, with Gen X in second place at 16%, and then Gen Z, the youngest cohort, around 19%.

Gen Z is soft, millennials are embarrassing, boomers are evil, and no one has thought about Gen X in years. But late this spring, Pew announced it would no longer use generational labels such as millennial and Gen Z in its research. By and large, Cohen shares Duffy's view that generational labels make it tough for both experts and laypeople to distinguish between generational traits and universal, or multifactorial, occurrences.

CNN —There’s nearly a 50-year age gap between the oldest Baby Boomer and the youngest member of Gen Z. As Pew President Michael Dimock put it, a common misconception about Baby Boomers’ past serves as a reminder of a key question we should be asking as we talk about Gen Z today. Cultural critic Louis Menand has pointed out that another important detail often gets overlooked when talking about this chapter in Baby Boomers’ past. And Gen Z may not be as ‘woke’ as you thinkCould our understanding of Gen Z’s politics – frequently described as liberal – also be missing part of the picture? Joe Raedle/Getty Images“In poll after poll, we have found enormous diversity among Gen Z and their views,” she says.
