Why Gen X Is the Workforce’s Most Overlooked Asset
Featuring Ryan Anderson, Vice President of Global Research and Planning, MillerKnoll; Danessa Myricks, Founder and CEO, Danessa Myricks Beauty and Brent Rivard, CEO, Geezer Creative
Description
Despite decades of experience and proven leadership, Gen X professionals—now aged 45 to 60—are increasingly being passed over for jobs, promotions, and training opportunities. In a labor market shaped by mass layoffs, delayed retirements, and the rapid rise of AI, Gen Xers find themselves in a uniquely precarious position: not quite young enough to be seen as digitally adaptable and not yet old enough to retire. This panel explores how Gen X is adapting to a changing workforce and why they’re essential to it.
