0:00.0 | So a new study shows that millennials say it's inappropriate to have a workwife, but that |
0:12.3 | most Gen Ziers, who are under age 25, by the way, and boomers who are 60 and up, are fine with it. |
0:24.9 | More specifically, this is in Business Insider. |
0:29.0 | Gen Ziers and millennials disagree on whether it's appropriate to have a work spouse, |
0:32.4 | a poll has found. |
0:33.5 | More than half of millennials disapprove of such relationships per Newsweek's study. |
