A new Deloitte Global survey concludes that many millennials are uneasy about the future and seek to combine the stability of a permanent job with the flexibility of freelancing.
Conventional wisdom says millennials pose a flight risk to their employers, but that may be changing.

Based on the views of nearly 8,000 global participants born after 1982, the annual survey finds that many millennials—especially those in developed economies—have numerous concerns and are unsure about their personal prospects. In mature markets, barely a third (34 percent) of respondents expect better economic conditions in the future, and only a quarter foresee social and political improvements.
