Mike Silverstein Honored on “Millennials in Staffing” List

October 6, 2016

Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of Millennials in Staffing featuring 35 industry influencers is out and DRI's Mike Silverstein made the list!

This year marks the first time Staffing Industry Analysts has published a list of millennials in the industry; it features staffing movers and shakers who were born between 1982 and 2000. The list is sponsored by Monster.

John Yurkschatt, Managing Partner of our sister company Direct Consulting Associates, also made this list!

Millennials rank as the largest living generation in the US, according to population estimates; they are now the largest segment of the US workforce. And they will be 75% of the US workforce by 2025.

However, the list is not a ranking. It’s a recognition of a group that is shaping the future of the American economy, and it’s based on nominations from the industry. It’s a snapshot of several noteworthy millennials. The list does not include supplier to the industry or staffing buyers.

“We believe millennials bring vital optimism, entrepreneurship and positive change to the next era of the American economy,” said Subadhra Sriram, publisher and editor at Staffing Industry Analysts. “Our goal is to provide a glimpse into this generation’s achievements as they pertain to the industry and the evolution of the ecosystem.”
