On the bright side, if there is a recession, it likely won't be as severe as the last one. Back then there was a confluence of factors, including the dot-com bust and Sept. 11, 2001, that took a severe toll. Also, the demographics of the workforce are evolving. Large numbers of baby boomers are about to reach retirement age, and while they won't necessarily leave the workforce entirely, they will look to slow down or switch careers. That means there is opportunity for younger employees to fill those gaps.
In the immediate future, if there are widespread layoffs, younger generations will likely handle it differently than their older peers, says Mary Crane, a career consultant who specializes in bridging the generation gap. "They've come into the workplace never suspecting they'll take one job and have it for life," says Crane.
"Lots of them will look at it as an opportunity to explore career opportunities. They might take six months off—that's how long recessions last—and work on a political campaign because they can build their resume and make great contacts. Or they'll teach. They look at this as opportunity."
We can all learn a lesson from that attitude.
