US male millennials are more likely than women to negotiate their salary in a new job, according to a survey by staffing firm Robert Half. It found 46% of men and 45% of 18-34-year-olds were prepared to haggle versus 34% of women. In addition, older workers are less likely to negotiate, with 40% of those aged between 25 and 54, and 30% of people aged 55 and over. The survey, which was carried out among 1,000 UK workers, also revealed that the average age at first marriage for both sexes is now higher than it has been since records began in 1971.
