We find that the percentage of millennials marrying…

Carnevale, Anthony P.; Hanson, Andrew R.; Gulish, Artem – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2013
The lockstep march from school to work and then on to retirement no longer applies for a growing share of Americans.

As a result, the education and labor market institutions that were the foundation of a 20th century system are out of sync with the 21st…

The study samples juniors and seniors in business…
