A survey by Arlington Eagle Hill Consulting finds that millennials in the Washington, D.C., metro area rank financial security as the top factor in maintaining a positive work/life balance.
When given the choice between more money or more free time, millennials in the metro were far more likely to choose money (86 percent) over working fewer hours per week (14 percent), the survey found.
"These findings mark an important shift in the priorities and preferences of this younger generation," Melissa Jezior, Eagle Hill's president and chief executive officer, said in statement. "It's no longer all about job perks like free snacks, massages and napping rooms as this generation begins to age."
