A Millennial Midlife Crisis?

A growing share of millennials feel unsettled in their careers, with more than half still trying to figure out their path and many admitting they would welcome an external trigger—like layoffs—to prompt change, signaling widespread reassessment of purpose and job satisfaction.

This shift reflects a workforce seeking meaning, flexibility, and alignment with personal values, creating openings for companies that emphasize growth opportunities, reskilling, career mobility, and supportive leadership to connect with employees navigating major career transitions.
