Nearly Half of US Young Adults Living With Parents

Amid pandemic lockdowns, record inflation, mounting student debt, and an unstable job market, more young adults are living with their families than striking out on their own. The American Dream seems shattered, with 45% of Americans aged 18 to 29 living with family. This dismal economic situation, reminiscent of the 1940s post-Great Depression era, suggests the current landscape is stacked against young people, rendering financial success nearly unattainable.
