When comparing positions held by workers after the age of 21 (excluding part-time and short-term work during high school or college), the research revealed the following longevity averages:
;Baby Boomers: 3.6 employers in 27.1 years (7.5 years per job);
;Generation X: 4.2 employers in 19.4 years (4.6 years per job);
;Millennials: 3.9 employers in 9.2 years (2.4 years per job);
;Generation Z: 2.7 employers in 2.8 years (1 year per job);
