What Kind of Worker Are You?

The Concours Group and Age Wave recently released a study on the American workforce. In it they defined six profiles (for definitions see the press release):


  • Self-Empowered Innovators (14%)

  • Fair & Square Traditionalists (20%)

  • Accomplished Contributors (17%)

  • Maverick Morphers (15%)

  • Stalled Survivors (19%)

  • Demanding Disconnects (15%)



  • Other interesting findings?



  • The youngest workers are uncommitted to their work and often constitute a
    negative influence in the workforce

  • Older workers are blossoming, showing a can-do attitude across much of the workforce
