Entering the workforce during a down economy creates attitudes that could last up to 20 years, according to a recent study led by Yale economics professor Lisa Kahn. 

This generation will be plagued by risk aversion, and the belief that hard work no longer guarantees success. Compound that with a fear of confrontation, and you've created a more passive workforce.
