Some veterinary workplaces now employ up to five generations of veterinarians, and communication between generations can be difficult without some understanding of their differences. The newest generation in the workforce, Gen Z, also known as the Zoomers, was born between 1997 and 2012 and is currently 12-28 years old. They number 74 million and are expected to be 30% of the workforce by 2030. As the second-youngest generation, the Zoomers have Millennials coming before them and Generation Alpha after.
