Members of Generation Z are attracted mostly to tech careers that have a high degree of job security, according to a new report by Indeed. On the whole, the youngest U.S. generation is also attracted to fair and inclusive employers offering purposeful work.
Indeed polled Gen Zers on their career preferences and found that nearly half of the top 15 job choices are in the tech industry; four of the top five alone were tech jobs, including iOS developer, computer vision engineer, machine learning engineer and audio engineer. Indeed concluded that Gen Zers are naturally drawn to such careers, having grown up during both the Great Recession and the post-iPhone tech wave.
Alongside careers requiring high education investment like dentist and anaesthesiologist, respondents were also interested in taking service-oriented jobs that don’t require additional years of school and can be filled immediately, including daycare assistant, bridal consultant and “game master” (the title of those who operate escape room facilities).
