Generation X Job Tenure – Are the members of Gen X remaining in a job longer as they move into management roles?
It is natural for any generation to remain longer in their jobs as they age. As they take on the responsibilities of a household and family, they will tend to settle down. Additionally, they are more likely to stay in positions that are harder to attain and fewer in number such as middle- and upper-level management. It would be difficult to enumerate this except in specific industry studies. The trade associations serving larger industries might have information on this based on the research they perform.
