In 2015, the Millennial Generation, those with birthdates that fall between 1977 and 1995, surpassed all other generations in the United States workforce. In fact, they make up a generational cohort of 85 million individuals, which is about five million greater than the Baby Boomers. With respect to the workplace, by 2020 the Millennials will constitute over 50 percent of the U.S. workforce, while Baby Boomers, currently the next largest cohort in the workforce, will be less than 25 percent.
