Intelligent.com surveyed 1,243 business leaders between ages 30 and 60 with a household income of more than $75,000 per year and a company size over 10.
Forty percent of respondents believe Generation Z is unprepared for the workforce, with 70 percent citing lack of work ethic as a driving factor. Communication skills, entitlement and technological skills were also listed as reasons where Generation Z falls short.
