The median annual earnings for Gen Z are not on par with inflation—and the data explains their push for salary transparency. YPulse is always tracking Gen Z and Millennial work trends and recently told you young workers aren’t keeping their salaries a secret anymore. Our What’s Next For Work trend research also shows that when looking for jobs, salary is their top priority. While they have big expectations, the reality is that the average Gen Z worker is earning about $25,346-$41,491; the low end in Mississippi and the high end being in Massachusetts. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Gen Z is on track to make up 30% of the workforce by 2030 and they’re on their way to becoming the most educated gen yet—and want to be paid as such.
