Methodology: This survey was conducted via survey platform Pollfish in July 2025. In total, 831 U.S.-based Gen Zers were surveyed. To qualify for the survey, respondents had to meet certain demographic criteria, including being employed full-time.
I wonder what other "certain demographic criteria" there were.

Yeah I call bullcrap on this. There's no way this is accurate. The moment you have specific criteria that aren't disclosed and a stupid small sample size (less than a thousand for a group that numbers in the 10 million plus range), you know it's a lie. The ONLY one of these I can see as being remotely accurate is help with writing a resume. Sometimes it's good to have a second or third opinion so you don't look like a moron for some simple mistake you overlooked.
The rest don't even make sense. How can you have a parent help you complete "work assignments" it isn't school you can't have your parents physically do your job for you. You also can't just have your parents show up to your work randomly, most places won't allow that. Likewise, I feel the one about 77% brought a parent to an interview is misleading. That could just include things like getting a ride to the interview, or something similar.
Most of this crap falls apart when you use any kind of basic common sense and reasoning on it.
Yup, complete bullshit. Gen Z is using Chat GTP to write their resumes.
If I had access to Chat GTP when I was in high school I would have received straight A’s. It’s scary how quickly you can have it return a 300 page novel based on prompts you give it. Imagine homework assignments. In the next 5 years the way we interact with the world is going to change rapidly. This technology is basically like when the cell phones really took hold of everyone’s lives. Or eBay or the internet or Bit Coin for 10¢. Hang on because it’s going to get wild.
The respondents to polls like this are usually self selecting too. Im not buying it either. Like they say garbage in, garbage out. I dont believe any poll any longer, they are all crap, because the pollsters all have an agenda.
Exactly
Yeah, its too exaggerated for my liking too.
