They only constitute 5% of the current workforce, as most have retired (Wiedmer 2015, 51). The baby boomers are the oldest and largest generation currently in the workforce (Wong et al. 2008, 878). This generation was born following World War II between 1945 and 1964, with approximately 76 million individuals (Wiedmer 2015, 52). Generation X was born from 1965 to 1981 and is also known as the baby busters because their birth rates are vastly lower than the baby boomers (Wiedmer 2015, 53).

This generation of people were born from 1965 to the early 1980’s. More importantly, this generation shares the appreciation for individuality and acceptance of racial-ethnicity. People in this generation were raised in different family structures. This generation of people work hard and tend to be less educated.

A generation can be defined as the period, cohort or age of a group of people. Age is seen as the age that the persons were when particular transitions or events in life take place. Period can be defined as the overall experience of a person’s lifetime. Lastly, cohort can be seen as the overall grouping of people who have shared events during their formative years that more than likely contribute to like-minded behavior throughout the duration of their lives.

Significant events during this time period include but are not limited to World War II and the Great Depression. The baby boomer generation was born between the years of 1946 and 1964.

In summary, marketing is very important for a business to achieve success. Many businesses have a difficult time in this area. With the stiff competition, businesses struggle to stand out among others. Other companies resort in unethical and unfair schemes just to win the competition. But eventually find themselves in great loss and failure. As businesses all over the world enter into a gigantic marketplace, every business owner is faced with convoluted market competition. Nevertheless, any entrepreneur can be different and become successful in this matter. In every product sold and in every service provided, patience and hard work should take precedence to ensure quality. Products and services should be marketed honestly, planning should not be done with evil
The Millennial Generation, born between 1977 and 2000, are the children of Baby Boomers. Mark Bauerlein says, “The 18-year-old
Generation Y are less brand loyal and the speed of the Internet has helped with the flexibility to change in its fashion, style consciousness and where and how it is communicated with. Lastly, Generation Y whichranges from 1995-2012. According to Generational Kinetics there are currently over 23 million Gen Z in the United States. Gen Z members are still largely kids and adolescents but have earlyindications of being increasingly self-aware, self-reliant, innovative and goal-oriented.One key difference from Millennials and Gen Z is that they don’t remember a time before social media. As a result, they tend to live much more of their entire lives from interacting with friends and family to making major purchases online and via their smartphones. Therefore, Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y
Millennials tend to be technologically advanced and eager to learn. They also value social responsibility and team-work. They are often seen as impatient and quick to express opinions without having all of the data. Millennials are quick to jump-ship if they do not feel if they are progressing fast enough, often at speeds that might be seen as unreasonable. Dayan (2005) says that about 5.6 million Millennials are about to enter the employment market. Millennials are said to be the most challenging generation for employers.
Different groups in America are classified by the eras that they were born into. The active generations who had the great impact on society today are the Baby Boomers and the Millennials (Debevec, 2013). In between the baby boomers and the millennials are the Eco Boomers and the Gen Xers (Kennedy, 2000). According to population projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau, Baby Boomers are the generation defined by the boom in U.S. births following World War II. They were born in the years between 1946 and 1964 (Brownstein, 2012). On the other hand millennials are the generation born in the years between 1981 and 1997 (Brownstein, 2012). There are 77 million boomers and 82 million millennials (Fallon, 2015). Both generations overlap in time, and are linked in that most of the Millennials are generally the children of the Boomers, but they are actually completely different in economics, education, politics, and lifestyles (Fallon, 2015).
Those who are born between the 1980s and 1990s. In entirety, the Millennial generation ranges from the 1980s to 2004. The term Millennials refer to the generation of people born between the 1980s and the 1990s according to Merriam Webster dictionary. However, the term also include people born in the 2000s as well. The term Generation Y and Millennials are synonymous. Characteristics of Millennials have always been more negative than positive. Over the last ten years people have seen the patterns of Millennials being lazy and not being independent. The article also talks about Millennials being the most disengaged from society and politics. However, Millennials have also been deemed the most liberal. Millennials are perceived in two ways; self-entitled narcissists or open-minded do-gooders. Both statements can very well define Millennials. A Millennial can be someone who is 35 or someone who is 19. Since the term ‘Millennial’ is so diverse, I will mainly address the financial habits of older Millennials. After all, you cannot compare a 19-year-old’s finances with a 35-year-old.
GEN Y ( Also called as Millenials):Millennial have grown up with technology and are comfortable with change. They value skill development and enjoy the challenge of new opportunities. Millennial are able to multi task, they want the flexibility to work where and when they want so that they can pursue their outside interests.

Millennials are changing the way society works. They have a new perspective on things. While older people are more traditional and go to church. Younger people are following their own ambitions and not letting anything get in the way. That includes not going to church as much.
Millennial workers are considered the younger workers and according to Landy and Conte (2016) they are often referred to as Generation Xers or Generation Yers as these are the individuals born between 1980 and 1995. With millennial workers being of the younger generations, they have a new working style and may be considered a powerful generation of workers. Millennial workers are important as the Baby Boomers are now retiring and there
