Gen Z Reports Peak Workplace Burnout Levels

Recent surveys and studies report unusually high burnout among Gen Z workers across multiple countries and cohorts. Polls show 25% of Americans are burnt out before 30, British studies report 80% burnout among Gen Z, and a global survey of over 13,000 front-line employees found 83% Gen Z burnout versus 75% for others. The findings link burnout to pandemic disruption, economic precarity, and AI-driven workplace changes.
