According to Barna Research Group, Busters (those in their 20s and 30s) are twice as likely as their parents to use profanity in public, say mean things about others behind their back, tell something to another person that is not true, do something to get back at someone who hurt or offended them, take something that didn't belong to them, and physically fight or abuse someone. Nearly half of Boomers say they view moral truth as absolute, but only 30% of Busters embrace the concept. 66% of those over 40 say we should determine moral right and wrong by God's principles; less than half of Busters agree. Instead, nearly half of Busters say ethics and morals are based on "what is right for the person," compared with just 25% of Boomers. A majority of Boomers follow a set of principles or guide-lines when making moral and ethical choices, while less than half of Busters do so. Barna's David Kinnaman notes, "The research shows people's moral profile is more likely to resemble that of their peer group than it is to take shape around the tenets of a person's faith."

A Concourse Group study shows young workers 18 to 34 are more "extremely dissatisfied" with their jobs than any other age group, with 50% feeling burned out and 25% seeking an entirely new career. Twenty somethings have unusually high expectations because of growing up during economic prosperity and seeing young adults making easy fortunes in the tech bubble. Although the bubble has burst, young workers desire for high salaries, quick promotions, and moderate work hours has not diminished. They insist the work-place be friendly and entertaining plus they're passionate about learning and growing. They want a career that fulfills a personal talent or calling while allowing time for family and friends. Mixing work and life is valued.
