Microsoft finds Gen Z is redefining the idea of work hustle in and outside the office
Summary
Many recent Gen Z college graduates are flipping the career paradigm and pursuing entrepreneurship rather than entering the corporate world. The traditional idea of "hustle culture" has evolved over the years, and while the grind Gen Z puts in looks slightly different than millennials, it doesnt mean theyre doing any less work. is a question being asked more frequently, according to Philip Gaskin, vice president of entrepreneurship at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Gen Z graduates are coming into the workforce during the pandemic period of "rediscovery," Gaskin said, a reevaluation of personal and professional goals by many Americans across generations. This shift is correlated with a rate of new entrepreneurs that has been growing for several years, with 2020 showing the highest spike of all, according to Kauffman Foundation data.
