We’ve had an extraordinary labor market for the past few years and while still strong, it is showing signs of cooling off…and it appears that Gen Z may be feeling the pain first.

Compounding the problem may be some unrealistic expectations around compensation. This Inc Magazine article explores The Great Salary Disconnect: What Gen-Z Gets Wrong About Pay.
Gen Z (and Y) are the future. Let’s help them succeed.
