The arc of work life has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Together, Gen Z (up to age 30) and millennials (30-45) now make up more than 50 per cent of the workforce and are projected to hold 10-15 jobs in their working lifetime. At the other end of the working spectrum, Boomers (age 62+) are creating opportunities with “working retirement,” staying in the workforce longer, and adding side-gigs in new areas. And in between, the Gen X generation are considering new mid- to late-career changes unlike any time before now.
