All work and no play makes Gen Z very dull. Young adults are feeling burnt out by the endless rise and grind of work, and they’re starting to wonder what’s the point of it all.
A whopping 98% of young adults ages 18 to 24 are experiencing worker burnout, according to Cigna 360’s Global Well-Being Survey 2022. Surveying almost 12,000 employees from 15 countries, Cigna found that younger workers are feeling the strain at work more than their older coworkers: 91% of Gen Zers and 87% of millennials report being stressed. That’s compared to 84% of overall employees.
