In the not-too-distant future, most of the work world is going to be comprised of Generation Xers (born between 1961 and 1980) and Generation Yers (born between 1980 and the early 1990s).

For example, do you know many people with a pension plan?

Read more for her ideas on who we will be working with, who we will be working for, and where, how and what we will be working on.
