Abstract

The recent election of 34-year-old Justin Bibb as mayor of Cleveland is a strong signal that Cleveland is changing hands from the baby boomers to generations X (born 1965 to 1980), generation Y millennials (born 1981 to 1996) of which Mayor Bibb is one, and generation Z (born 1997 to 2016). Generation Z will soon make up more than 20% of the workplace, and generation Y will soon make up 50% of the workforce. At the same time, the U.S. is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, and those patterns are magnified in cities like Cleveland.
