More Adults are Moving Back Home to Live with Parents

This is not a new topic around here, but the Pew Research Center has just released a study that reveals that 10 percent of adults younger than 35 have moved back in with their parents because of the recession. According to the study, of all grown children who lived with their parents, 2 in 10 were full-time students, one-quarter were unemployed and about one-third said they had lived on their own before returning home.

According to the census, 56 percent of men 18 to 24 years old and 48 percent of women were either still under the same roof as their parents or had moved back home.
