Take it from today's young hipsters: Retail, construction and manufacturing are way not cool. And the same goes for insurance.
That's what research into millennial industry preferences released by The Hartford revealed. And at least based upon the results of the company's 2015 Millennial Leadership Survey, there's almost no chance those industries will attract millennials any time soon.
Only 7% of those millennials who participated in the study said they were interested in careers in those three industries. Other industries are also failing to attract these young leaders of the future, including insurance (4%) and wholesaling and utilities (3% each).
