This time it is the Gen Xers and Millennials  who will be driving the recovery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="articleText"&gt;A higher proportion of Gen Y's income is  discretionary as a result of fewer debts and a less-urgent need to  accumulate wealth in the immediate term relative to older shoppers.  Furthermore, as this generation is accustomed to instant gratification  and demands the latest gadgets, spending on technology staples like MP3  players and smart phones will remain a priority and create unique  opportunities for tech-oriented retailers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="articleText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See original research brief here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&amp;amp;art_aid=124696#%20%20"&gt;&lt;span class="articleHeadline" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;GenX and  Millennials Driving Recovery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                     &lt;span class="articleText" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="authorEmail" href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Archives.showArchive&amp;amp;author=233"&gt;Jack  Loechner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="articleText"&gt;For a complete report from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, please visit them &lt;a href="http://www.pwc.com/us/en/retail-consumer/publications/the-new-consumer-behavior-paradigm.jhtml"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3662873739847433073-2813998511665223568?l=millenniumprime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://millenniumprime.blogspot.com/feeds/2813998511665223568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://millenniumprime.blogspot.com/2010/03/genx-and-millennials-driving-recovery.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3662873739847433073/posts/default/2813998511665223568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3662873739847433073/posts/default/2813998511665223568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://millenniumprime.blogspot.com/2010/03/genx-and-millennials-driving-recovery.html' title='GenX and Millennials Driving Recovery'/><author><name>John Marchese</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05595863901386405845</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
