Gen Z is winning the Great Resignation. There are also endless job possibilities for the Generation Z workforce. Gen Z is defined as ages 20 to 24.

Gen Zers are more likely to switch jobs and they get the biggest pay increases when switching jobs, according to a report from the Bank of America Institute and data from LinkedIn provided to Insider.

Reportedly, the great resignation is likely to continue as more young workers are thinking about handing in their resignation letters in the next two years. Gen Z is taking advantage of the labour shortage and finding the right job.
