A recent poll by the Pew Research Center revealed that a majority of young Americans are living with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression. As of July, approximately 52 percent of young Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 lived with their parents. The number of young adults living with their parents has spiked by 2.6 million since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a study by the Pew Research Center, a majority of young Americans live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression. Approximately 48 percent of young Americans lived with their parents in 1940, the earliest year that such data is available. Now, approximately 52 percent of young Americans live with their parents.

The impact of H-1B visas...
The numbers don't make it something negative.
How do they count parents living with their children?
When I first lived by myself without roommates my apt. was $250 a month. 1 bedroom apartments cost how much these days? Depending on where you live, at least $1000 right?
The 25-29 year olds should have a career by then, but I understand the younger ones not being able to afford it by themselves. Need to find a mate to help with expenses.
maybe the visas impact a little, but most of it is the liberal soy boy transgender brain washing of our youth to think everything is owed to them. A large percentage is just a bunch of pussies. There are lots of entry level and manual labor jobs here, but many soy boys prefer to sit at their mommies and text on their phone.

The neighbors helped out with chores the best we could, but it wasn't the same. Just too much house and yard for Mom to care for alone. They put in an extra parking spot and Mom loves the company.
LOL! Our oldest jumped ship first chance he had. He though getting his own apartment and living without our rules and chores was going to be easier. Needless to say it was a little wakeup call. He’s done well though, got a job with the City with full Bene’s in the Maintenance Dept.
My 26 year old daughter lives with us. She received her MD degree and is in residency. She pays her own expenses but asked if she could move in to get a leg up on paying her student loans off. She is a delight to have and may live here as long as she wants
8 years obanomics, financier/academia collusion, worthless liberal degrees, participation trophies their whole life, nea liberal tripe, no wonder they are so angry and hopeless...sold out by worthless liberal ideas...now they want socialism to keep them alive...they have zero survival skills and real knowledge of anything worthwhile...
I also believe the use of marijuana, legal or otherwise, contributes to a lack of energy and desire to be on your own.
Sounds like a pretty smart young lady with good financial sense!
Housing in some areas has become so expensive that lending and renting income standards are being completely warped just to enable more people to keep a roof over their heads. Some places are seeing people being allowed to spend >50% of their income just on housing, because otherwise there just wouldn’t be any.
A lot of this comes down to a lack of housing; particularly higher density housing in places that really need it. Perhaps one benefit of all this social distancing and working from home policy shifts is that people will be able to move out of the hottest job markets and work remotely for the jobs where that’s possible. That would go a long way to spreading out demand. And that’s all this is at the end of the day: supply and demand. There’s not enough supply and way too much demand, so prices go through the roof until the market is unsustainably high.
BECAUSE MOMMA LIVES ALONE. thank you women’s lib and draconian child support laws. End all future child support and watch the divorce rate plummet, cap all welfare payments to one child and watch unwed motherhood rates drop.
The average home in the Denver market is now over 600k. She could afford a nice condo but would rather save her money and pay off her student loans. I’m not complaining I like having her around
It all depends on whether the young people have a positive attitude. I know a family whose 20-something daughter was hell to live with. She could never hold a job and she was involved with a bad group of friends. She was supposed to pay rent and help pay for groceries but she never did. Finally she moved out when she got involved with a boyfriend. I don’t know if she’s still together with him or not. But in that case anyway the parents were thrilled to see their loser adult daughter finally leave the nest.
It seems like there are at least a couple of major categories of young people. You have the group who are pleasant to live with, help with household chores and are working towards future goals, and find that living with parents helps them towards their future goals. Living with parents is mutually beneficial in those cases.
But then you have the loser or Failure to Launch crowd, who never quite grow up and sponge off mom and dad even though they are adults and should be taking adult responsibilities.
Most of these victims paid 100K for college, studied LBGT affairs, can’t find a job, and have student loan debt that nobody told them it has to be paid back someday. Where else could these spoiled brats live. On the street? Oh yeh, that is an option.
This could be a good thing if the parents involve would man-up and start knocking some sense into their childrens’ heads.
I should also say mine lived on her own for 8’years in another city during college and med school so she is not tied to mommy’s apron strings she knows how to live on her own
That’s incredible, so many young people living with their parents since ~1940!
