<p>Struggling to Hire Millennials? Here’s How To Get Them Onboard
October 13, 2015 -
More than one-in-three American workers today are Millennials (adults ages 18 to 34 in 2015) and this year they
surpassed Generation X to become the largest share of the American workforce, according to Pew Research
Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
This milestone occurred in the first quarter of this year, as the 53.5 million-strong Millennial workforce has risen
rapidly. The Millennial labor force had just last year surpassed that of the Baby Boom, which has declined as

“Nevertheless, they represent the future. Companies must therefore step up to discover how to attract, recruit and
retain this important human capital asset.”
