As reported by Uproxx, the study looked at millennials’ various everyday abilities – “specifically, it compared their abilities in literacy, numeracy (the ability to apply math to everyday situations), and ‘problem-solving in technology-rich environments’ to those of their international peers.”

The study did not go well for American millennials. They scored lower than 15 of the 22 participating countries in literacy, and were tied for last in numeracy. Take a look at some of the other results as well:

It’s just one study, but it looks like American millennials need to step up their game.
