With university convocation approaching, soon-to-be graduates are preparing to enter the workforce. Many of them are from Gen Z (born after 1997) and they have very different expectations about work than their older colleagues.
Their predecessors, the Millennials, adopted “side hustles,” such as multiple jobs and gig work, to get by during the 2008 recession. But Gen Z is not interested in joining “hustle culture.”
