Citing the need to maintain its unique company culture, Amazon this week announced that it expects all office employees “to return to being in the office” five days a week starting in January. The company may have had its Covid-era Gen Z hires particularly in mind.

A little more than five years from now, in 2030, Gen Z employees (those born after 1996) will fill an estimated 50 million U.S. jobs, about 30% of the total American workforce, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.

The oldest Gen Z workers, those who started entering the labor force around 2015, will be in their 30s with a decade-and-a-half of work experience. Some will have moved into management positions. Those who attended college immediately after high school and began filtering into the workforce just before Covid-19 arrived, will also be firmly planted in their careers.

Many of those who study employment trends have been telling us that Gen Z workers—especially those who joined the labor force during the pandemic—are solidly wedded to remote work. But, wedded bliss it’s not. Joblist’s 2023 United States Job Market Trends Report, for example, indicated that 57% of Gen Zers now prefer in-person jobs and only 27% prefer remote jobs.
