If you’re hiring millennials, you may want to ask around to see which ones might have come to the interview with a silver spoon in their mouths.

And if you’ve got a substantial number of millennials in your workforce, you should probably be doing more to advance their professional knowledge and their management skills.

A study from the Center for Talent Innovation says that “financially privileged millennials” tend to be job-hoppers. However, they comprise just 9 percent of all millennials. The other 91 percent may want to job hop, but they can’t afford to, the study says. And those young people report that they aren’t getting what they need in terms of training, knowledge and management skills at work.
