Deloitte Global's 2025 Gen Z and Millennial Survey finds these generations focused on growth as they seek money, meaning, and well-being
Key takeaways Three-quarters of Gen Zs (74%) and millennials (77%) believe GenAI will impact the way they work within the next year. Gen Zs and millennials are focused on growth and learning, but they believe their managers are missing the mark on key areas of their development. Only 6% of Gen Zs say their primary career goal is to reach a senior leadership position. When asked about the factors driving their career decisions, Gen Zs and millennials say it comes down to money, meaning, and well-being NEW YORK, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 14th edition of Deloitte Global's Gen Z and Millennial Survey examines the responses of more than 23,000 participants across 44 countries. Projected to make up 74% of the global workplace by 2030, the survey finds that these generations are seeking a "trifecta" of money, meaning, and well-being while building the technical and soft skills that they believe will prepare them for the workplace of the future. "Gen Zs and millennials launched their careers in the shadow of a global pandemic and a financial crisis—events that respectively shaped their expectations of work and what success looks like," says Elizabeth Faber, Deloitte Global Chief People & Purpose Officer. "These generations prioritize work/life balance and meaningful work as they strive for financial stability. And now, as they navigate the way GenAI is changing work, they are reevaluating the capabilities they need to succeed and the support they want from their employers." Learning and development and the leadership gap Gen Zs prioritize career growth opportunities and learning when choosing an employer, but few want to reach senior leadership positions. Both Gen Zs and millennials expect their employers and managers to support learning and development, but there's a wide gap between their expectations and experiences. Some also have doubts about higher education's ability to prepare students for the job market: Climbing the corporate ladder is not the end goal, but they're still ambitious: Only 6% of Gen Zs consider reaching a senior leadership position as a primary career goal, but they cite learning and development among the top three reasons they chose their current employer, just behind good work/life balance and opportunities to progress in their careers. Gen Zs and millennials want more from their managers on key areas of their development: Roughly half (50% of Gen Zs and 48% of millennials) want their managers to teach and mentor them, but only 36% of Gen Zs and 32% of millennials say this happens in reality. They also would like their managers to provide more guidance and support and to do more to inspire and motivate them. These generations are questioning the value of higher education: Around one-quarter expressed concerns about the relevance of the curriculum to the job market, and the practical experience it offers. The impact of GenAI at workGen Zs and millennials are using GenAI more frequently, prioritizing training to boost their skills, and seeing improvements in their work quality. However, concerns about GenAI's impact on the workforce persist: GenAI usage is continuing to rise: Three-quarters of Gen Zs (74%) and millennials (77%) believe GenAI will impact the way they work within the next year and more than half of respondents already use GenAI in their day-to-day work, with 29% of Gen Zs and 30% of millennials using it all or most of the time. GenAI users have mixed feelings about its impact: GenAI users report that GenAI improves the quality of their work and their work/life balance. But more than six in 10 also worry it will eliminate jobs and say it is motivating them to seek jobs that they perceive as safe from GenAI-driven disruption. Soft skills are seen as critical for career advancement: As they work alongside GenAI, more than eight in 10 Gen Zs and millennials say developing soft skills, like empathy and leadership, is even more important for career advancement than honing technical skills. The pursuit of money, meaning, and well-being When asked about the factors that impact their career decisions, Gen Zs and millennials gave responses that fell into three categories: money, meaning, and well-being. The survey underscores that these areas are tightly interconnected as respondents seek to find the right balance: Financial insecurity is on the rise: Nearly half of Gen Zs (48%) and millennials (46%) say they do not feel financially secure, up from 30% of Gen Zs and 32% of millennials in last year's survey. The survey data also reinforces that without financial security, Gen Zs and millennials are less likely to have a positive sense of mental well-being and less likely to feel their work is meaningful. Purpose influences job satisfaction: Roughly nine in 10 Gen Zs (89%) and millennials (92%) consider a sense of purpose to be important to their job satisfaction and well-being. But purpose at work is subjective. Some Gen Zs and millennials say it's about having a positive impact on society. Others say their purpose is to earn money, find work/life balance, or to learn new skills so they have the time and resources to drive change outside of working hours. Positive well-being supports a sense of purpose at work: Among those who report positive mental well-being, 67% of Gen Zs and 72% of millennials feel their job allows them to make a meaningful contribution to society compared to 44% of Gen Zs and 46% of millennials who report poor mental well-being. "Gen Zs and millennials have been consistent about their priorities at work, but as the world of work shifts rapidly around them, employers need to rethink how they can best meet their needs," continues Elizabeth Faber. "By being thoughtful about the impact of technology and modernizing the way work is structured, leaders have an opportunity to evaluate how the workforce is supported while advancing their organization."

Topshop is launching a London pop-up next week ahead of its UK high street return
If you're over the age of 20, the words 'Big Topshop' will probably elicit some intense emotions. Memories of wandering around with your friends while your mum waits in the car, crying in the changing room trying on jeans, seeing a top with 'free spirit' written on it and knowing you have to have it. Unfortunately, Topshop said its goodbyes to the high street back in 2021, and it has been sorely missed by millennials and elder-Gen Zs ever since. That is, until now. That's right. Topshop is back! Sort of. The brand is hosting a pop-up in Shoreditch for one day only on May 10. At 'Topshop & Topman In The House', there will be DJ sets, makeovers, cocktails, and, of course, clothes. The brand will be launching its new Talamanca collection, which is inspired by Ibiza– just in time for you to head on holiday. All of this comes ahead of a rumoured return to brick-and-mortar stores for Topshop. It won't quite be the same – sadly Big Topshop is well and truly dead, opening as an IKEA today (May 1) – because there will be third party retailers. This means the selection might be slightly smaller than we're used to, but it's certainly better than the nothing we've had for the past five years. Here's what we know so far about the Topshop renaissance in London this month. Where and when is the London Topshop pop-up? The 'Topshop & Topman In The House' pop-up is an exclusive one day event on May 10. It will be held in the basement of the house music label Defected Records headquarters, which is on Curtain Road in Shoreditch. As well as access to the new Talamanca range, there will be limited edition Topshop x Defected Records T-shirts, only available to buy at the pop-up. The event will go from 10am-6pm and walk-ins are welcome, although only subject to availability, so make sure to arrive early to ensure entry. You can find out more details, including about accessible access, to the event on ASOS here. When will Topshop return to UK high streets? Topshop is likely to land on our streets this August, all being well. There are no set dates, and we don't know exactly which third-party stores it will be a part of. It was only even confirmed that the brand would be making a return to the high street at the end of April, but more information should be coming within the next month or two. Regardless of the circumstances, Topshop is definitely making a comeback, and that's something to celebrate. Until then, you can still shop Topshop online here.

Nissan Z Sales Exploded in America in Q1 2025, Blowing Away the Supra
Automakers are in the midst of releasing first-quarter sales results for 2025, and among all the chatter, we noticed something unexpected: Nissan Z sales positively exploded in the first quarter of the year, with the final tally coming to 2154 Zs going out the door. That's more than triple the number of Z sports cars that Nissan sold in the first quarter of 2024 — and more examples than Nissan sold in the coupe's first full year on sale. It's the sort of explosion in sales we've been waiting to see from the very beginning of Z production. Things started mightily slow for the revamped Z, with the first full year of sales (2023) only seeing 1771 copies leave dealer lots. The first quarter of 2025 has already crushed that entire calendar year, so things are looking up. Even compared to the steady growth Nissan saw in 2024, where it sold a total of 3164 Zs, 2025 is trending to destroy that number. And Nissan handily beat its closest natural competitor for sales in this first quarter of 2025, the Toyota GR Supra. Toyota moved a paltry 421 Supras in the first quarter, meaning Nissan sold approximately five Zs for every one Supra that left the lot. That follows the trend of the Z finally surpassing the Supra in total sales last year — but instead of a neck-and-neck race, the Z is wildly outpacing Toyota's sports car. That's not totally surprising, though, considering the Supra is toward the end of its lifecycle, while the Z is still relatively new. The Supra's best year was 2021, where it sold 6830 examples — much more in line with the pace of the Z in 2025. We'll see if Nissan is able to maintain this momentum with the Z as the year soldiers on. There's virtually nothing alluringly new for the 2025 model, outside of the addition of Bayside Blue to the exterior paint palette. The price of every version (Sport, Performance, Nismo) is the same for 2025 as it was for the 2024 model year, but the looming threat of tariffs means there's no guarantee it will remain the same throughout the entirety of 2025.

Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Warrior Is the Sleepiest Cuddle Bug in Dreamy Beach Photo
The infamous Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's granddaughter doesn't need to hunt down any Zs. No, Bindi Irwin's 3-year-old daughter Grace Warrior is actually a napping pro. At least that's what it looks like from Terri Irwin's latest photo. Grace's grandma — or should we say her 'Bunny' (IYKYK) — caught the sweetest shot of Bindi Irwin and Grace sitting on the beach. Grace is on her mom's lap with her head resting on her shoulder. Her arm is wrapped tightly around her mom who has her eyes closed in bliss. Meanwhile, Grace's eyes are closed because she is out. The sleepy toddler must have had too much fun playing with her family on the beach. More from SheKnows Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Shares a 'Sweet Moment' With a Kangaroo in a Wildly Cute New Picture Toddlers: They are either fighting nap time with everything they have, or falling sound asleep in the most unlikely of places. 'Remember when you could just fall asleep anywhere?' Terri captioned her Instagram post before using the hashtag for National Sleep Awareness Week. Bindi quickly commented on her mom's post, writing, 'So grateful for these moments. ❤️' Followers were touched by the 'precious' picture. 'Nothing like having a moment to sit and hold your little one when they've fallen asleep on you,' one person wrote. 'The sweet contentment on your face brings back so many moments when mine were tiny kiddos💜' Others knew exactly why Grace was able to fall asleep at the beach: 'Everything is safe and warm in a Mama's arms ❤️❤️ such a beautiful moment and family,' one person wrote. Her mom isn't the only person little Grace can't stop cuddling. Earlier this year, the little girl couldn't stop hugging the kangaroos at the Australia Zoo. Just like with her mom, she rested her head on a kangaroo. And though she didn't fully fall asleep (which is probably for the best), it was still a case of cuteness overload. In 2023, Bindi spoke to SheKnows about how she treasures family time and does her best to be 'completely present.' 'Because sometimes we forget to do that because life is such a whirlwind,' she said. 'So if you can find that time to be utterly present with your family it really helps feed your soul.' Whether it's watching her daughter cuddle with a kangaroo, being the one to snuggle with her on the beach, or anything in between, Bindi knows just how truly invaluable those moments are. 'It's just good for your heart,' she continued.

Nissan Z markups are officially over — is now the time to buy?
For enthusiasts who have been holding off on buying a Nissan Z due to outrageous dealer markups, the wait has finally paid off. After years of excessive pricing, dealerships across the U.S. are now offering the 400-horsepower coupe well below its sticker price. When the latest-generation Nissan Z debuted in 2022, even a twin-turbocharged V6 and manual transmission weren't enough to overcome some divisive styling choices and, more importantly, astronomical markups. Dealers eager to cash on the anticipation for Nissan's newest sports car soured the launch, with some markups exceeding $50,000—turning what was supposed to be an affordable performance car into an overpriced luxury item. Now, things have taken a dramatic turn. Autoblog analysis of some 650 Nissan Zs on found that only a small percentage of listings have any markup, a sharp reversal from what enthusiasts have grown accustomed to over recent years. In fact, the vast majority of listings — 82% — were marked down. Sales of Nissan's newest Z have been dampened since launch thanks to chronic markups, but the current wave of discounts could ignite renewed interest in one of the brand's most iconic drastic price reduction is due to a combination of factors. First, the overall market for sports cars remains niche, and the initial wave of Z hype has died down. Second, Nissan as a brand has been struggling with sales in recent years, leading dealers to push for volume rather than high-margin markups. The strategy appears to be paying off. After selling just under 1,800 Zs in 2023, price drops helped Nissan dealers increase that figure by some 80% the following year, selling 3,164 Zs in 2024. In a surprising feat, the Z even managed to outsell Toyota's GR Supra in like Nick Scherr, a Nissan salesman from Avondale, Arizona, led the resistance against inflated dealer markups. Known in the community as 'Nismo Nick,' Scherr took it upon himself to track down Z inventory across the country and sell the cars at sticker price or below. View the to see embedded media. 'I have purchased Zs from over 20 dealerships nationwide,' Scherr told The Autopian last May. 'I then sell them to Z enthusiasts for MSRP or lower with no dealer adds and no dealer accessories.' Scherr's approach has paid off. By buying up unsold inventory from dealers struggling to move Zs, he has become the country's highest-volume seller of the car. His customers range from young first-time sports car buyers to longtime Z fans looking to add the latest model to their collection. Now, Scherr's approach has become the norm across Nissan dealerships, with Zs commonly listed below understand what the current landscape looks like for Nissan Z, we collected data for 652 Zs listed across the country on containing the list price and MSRP. View the to see embedded media. From that data, we found that just six cars—less than 1%—were marked up. Of those six, the average markup was about $7,000. A 2024 Nissan Z Nismo listed for $84,325 in Louisville, Kentucky, had the biggest markup of any Z in our dataset, exactly $15,000 over MSRP. About 17% of the listings, 111 cars in total, were listed at MSRP with an average price of $57,856. The majority of listings, 535 in total, were listed below the MSRP, with an average markdown of $6,100. A 2024 Nissan Z Nismo listed for $52,369 in Skokie, Illinois, had one of the biggest markdowns in our data set, $14,521 below MSRP. If you're looking for a real steal, there are two 2024 Nissan Z Sports listed for $34,900 in St. Peters. Missouri, each $10,000 below MSRP. For those interested in the Nissan Z, this might be the perfect time to make a move. With discounts being the norm rather than the exception, potential buyers can finally get the car at a reasonable price. And unlike the early days when only automatic models were widely available, both the 6-speed manual and 9-speed automatic variants can be found at these reduced prices. We found a 2024 Nissan Z Sport specced with the manual transmission for $37,777 in Cookeville, Tennessee, $7,123 below MSRP. That said, Nissan's strategy of pushing volume over profit raises questions about the car's long-term viability. The Z is still a low-production sports car in a market that increasingly favors SUVs and EVs. If Nissan continues selling it at a loss, the company may have to make tough decisions about its days of eye-watering Nissan Z markups are officially behind us, making now one of the best times to buy the iconic sports car. With most dealerships offering below-MSRP pricing, enthusiasts can finally get their hands on a twin-turbo, rear-wheel-drive coupe without breaking the bank. However, the sharp discounts also highlight the challenges Nissan faces in keeping the Z relevant in a changing market. Whether this pricing shift reinvigorates interest in the model or signals a last push before an uncertain future remains to be seen. For now, though, buyers can celebrate the fact that patience has finally paid off. Love reading Autoblog?
