The Gen Z workforce is expected to “triple” by 2030. According to an Oxford Economics study commissioned by Snap, Gen Z employees in the U.S. are set to triple over the next decade. The data found that 11-26-year-old workers are projected to grow to 51 million by 2030 with their after-tax income reaching $2 trillion. They’re bringing with them “a burst of creative, digital-friendly skills”: The survey found Gen Z is more likely than the general population to say they “know how to create something new” from online content, to “make money from digital content,” use a chat forum to solve a problem, or have taken an online class just for fun. The report also found that “the growth of internet platforms will fuel demand for workers with digital skills.” Meanwhile, a Handshake survey found that 41% of Gen Z believe that employers should adopt virtual job fairs and other hiring tools.
