U.S. Government’s Pipeline of Young Workers Is Drying Up
A reputation for bureaucracy and hierarchy is helping to discourage young Americans from taking government jobs; in a poll of undergraduates, just 2.4% of engineering students and less than 1% of business students listed only government agencies as their ideal employers, according to the Wall Street Journal. Just 7% of the federal workforce was younger than 30 in 2013, compared with more than 20% in 1975, leaving the government without a pipeline of young workers in an increasingly digital age.

A Key Ingredient for Creating Start-Ups: Young People
The presence of young workers appears to be necessary for the creation and growth of new firms, particularly in industries where young people have key technical skills, say Paige Ouimet of the University of North Carolina and Rebecca Zarutskie of the Federal Reserve Board. For example, in the electronics industry, a 5% increase in the share of youth in the population leads to a 1-to-2-percentage-point increase in the rate of new-firm creation, according to the researchers’ analysis of U.S. Census data.

Marketing for baby boomers: Talk on an emotional level
Here is an example of a video ad from Duracell that talks on an emotional level. Notice that is does not promote the product but the message.
The brand engaged a new campaign called “Trust Your Power” with its debut on January 10th. The video strikes close to 5.9 million views in a week after being launched. Now it has over 22 million views
This is something quite special because Duracell didn’t run the ad on TV.
Marketing on an emotional level works for any generation but it is very powerful when marketing to baby boomers
Majority of US Internet Users to Use a Connected TV by 2015
The number of US connected TV users is rising rapidly, and next year, the majority of internet users will go online via such a device. The connected TV audience is set to more than double between 2013 and 2017 as double-digit growth rates continue.
eMarketer estimates that more than 113 million people—35.5% of the US population and 45.0% of internet users—will use a connected TV regularly this year, and in 2015, the majority of US internet users will access the internet through such a device. The connected TV audience will post double-digit growth rates through 2017.
If you are a content creator and you are not scared of a camera, you should consider star your own TV show before it is too late.

Baby Boomer Marketing: Being Treated as Invisible is More Harmful than Harassment
Although surveys show that people consider it more psychologically harmful to be harassed than ignored, workplace ostracism turns out to have a bigger impact than harassment, doing greater harm to employees’ well-being and causing greater job turnover, says a team led by Jane O’Reilly of the University of Ottawa. Ostracism is also more common: Of more than 1,000 university staff members, 91% reported such experiences as being ignored, avoided, shut out of conversations, or treated as invisible over the past year, whereas 45% reported being harassed, such as by being teased, belittled, or embarrassed.

Young People Earn More at Young Companies
Although average wages tend to be lower at younger companies in the U.S., workers aged 25–34 earn3.1% more at firms that are five years old or younger than at well-established firms, say Paige Ouimet of the University of North Carolina and Rebecca Zarutskie of the Federal Reserve Board. One reason may be that youthful workers possess the cutting-edge technical skills that startups are seeking and are willing to pay for, the researchers say. 25-to-34-year-old employees make up 27% of the workforces of young firms but just 18% of those at well-established firms (companies that have been around for two decades or more).
