young workers
Entry-level staff members
Young workers are employees in the early stages of their careers, typically in their teens to mid-twenties.
The term appears frequently in discussions of labor markets, workplace demographics, and generational differences: Young workers are more likely to job-hop than previous generations.
The exact age range varies by context—labor statistics might define it differently than workplace policy does.
