Among the many startling revelations of the recent presidential election was the emergence of a powerful new generational voting bloc: the Millennials. For the first time, this cohort of 21- to 34-year-olds, also known as Generation Y, made up the same proportion of the U.S. voting-age population as the Baby Boomers. This remarkably cohesive group is significantly more progressive than their parents -- in states as different as Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, 80 percent voted for Bernie Sanders; nationwide, they overwhelmingly backed Hillary Clinton -- and has the potential to shape politics for years to come.
They're already reshaping the workplace.
