In 2009, approximately 100,000 people from 34 countries in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region responded to a workplace survey developed by Kelly Services. The Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) revealed opinions about work and the workplace from a generational viewpoint. Despite the variations ofcultures, survey results were surprisingly similar across the globe.

Survey respondents ranged in age from 18 to 65 and comprised the following three generational groups: Generation Y (age 18 – 29), Generation X (age 30 –47), and the Baby Boomer generation (age 48 – 65). Respondents were either employed within a variety of industries, ranging from information technology to finance, or were unemployed and searching for future work opportunities. Each respondent revealed their viewpoints on the following six aspects of their current positions and workplaces.
