Gen Y
Known as The Millennial Generation, this is the fastest growing segment of today’s workforce. Gen-Y is the largest generation since the baby-boomers and make up nearly 20% of today’s population. Born between 1977 and 1994, Gen-Yers grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, smart phones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations. Generation Y prefer flexible schedules and a better work/life balance and typically prioritize family over work. They value teamwork and seek the input and affirmation of others. Gen-Yers put a high premium on quality of life. Single or married, administrator or entrepreneur, those in this cohort tend to value leisure and family activities. That is why so many advertisers turn to PNJ Media Solutions to get their messages to Gen-Yers on the go. From planning a day at the beach to getting the latest financial news, PNJ Media Solutions reaches over 41,000 (57.6) young adults between the ages of 21 and 34 each week.
