Wk 3 - EOC My Demographics (Fund. Of Marketing)

                Being born in the year 1990 makes me a millennial. I am among a demographic of teens and twenty-something’s who are making their pass into adulthood during a new millennium. The millennial’s are described as confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and open to change, and it describes my generation of people perfectly. The description of the millennial’s matches the description of everyone that I know. After generations of growing, society grows with it. Society in the time of the baby boomers differs a lot from my generation. Family is a lot different in this generation compared to previous ones. “The number of working women has also increased greatly, growing from under 40 percent of the U.S. workforce in the late 1950s to 59 percent today.” Traditional family housewives in this generation, now work just like men. “Both husband and wife work in 52 percent of all married-couple families.” Every friend I’ve grown up with has had two working parents. With more people working in current day society, it has changed the way we work. In the millennial generation a lot of people work from home, or in a remote office, and conduct business by phone, fax, modem, or the internet.  The millennial generation will only grow more advanced in the years we have to come.
