ABSTRACT
As with other generations, the birth years that define the Millennial generation are controversial, ranging from 1981 to 2000 (Armour 2005). Some believe this generation begins in 1977 because that is when birth rates increased for the first time in ten years (Mui 2001). However, more narrow definitions frequently list 1980 to 1993 (Aschoff 2006). Despite the definition, researchers generally say that Millennials have now been in the workforce for four years (Gerdes 2007a). However,
for the purposes of this book, the Millennial Generation will be defined as those who were born between 1981 and 2000.
