Having just one job in a lifetime seems to be a thing of the past. The youngest of the baby boomers, those born between 1957 and 1964, have held an average of 10.5 jobs between the ages of 18 and 40, according to the latest data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The survey participants, who represent the youngest cohort of U.S. baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964), were first interviewed in 1979 when they were between the ages of 14 and 22. As these younger boomers have aged, they have changed jobs less frequently: Between the ages of 18 and 21, they held 3.8 jobs on average, but between 36 and 40, the average fell to 2.
