People only see what they are prepared to see. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
A new survey provides yet another window into the challenges faced by the Millennial generation, (currently 18-33 years old). In December 2014, the U.S. Census told us that 1 in 5 Millennials live below the poverty line and have lower rates of employment compared to their Baby Boomer parents of a similar age. In February 2015, the American Psychological Association (APA) piled on with their own survey and report, "Stress in America: Missing the Health Care Connection."
The report bestowed Millennials with the dubious distinction as “the most stressed-out generation.” Four generations were surveyed to find out what stressed them and how much:
- Matures (67+)
- Boomers (48-to-66)
- Gen Xers (34-to-47)
- Millennials (18-to-33)
