He doesn’t know where to take me when I meet him at the hotel by the train station, so we just start to walk down the dusty summer streets of Nizhniy Tagil, a sputtering industrial city on the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains. His name is Sasha Makarevich, a 24-year-old cement worker, a blond ponytail falling down his back, a Confederate flag stitched onto his cutoff denim vest. “I thought it just meant independence,” he explains when I ask about it.

Millennials! They’re not having sex! Or are they? They’re hated by other generations but beloved by thinkpiece headlines across the internet. And according to McDonald’s, they’re not eating Big Macs.

People in their early 30s are half as wealthy as those now in their 40s were at the same age, a report finds.

People who accept a management job they don’t really want are twice as likely to end up quitting.

From stealth dorms to pod apartments, young Americans are finding all kinds of new ways to live within their means, on their own.

A new report by the Pew Research Center finds that for the first time since the 1880s, more young adults in the U.S. are living with their parents than with a romantic partner in their own household.

Tech startups love millennials. Tasty, tasty millennials who get underpaid, overworked, churned up and turned into nourishment for venture capitalists. Millennials are the Soylent Green of the tech world. As each batch gets mashed up, there’s a long line of new hires eager to be made into the next meal for the execs and their billionaire backers, as tech survivor Dan Lyons shows in a scathingly funny new book, “Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble” (Hachette Books).
