Not so empty nesters: record-high number of US adults under 35 live at home, new data says

Data shows that the increase in at-home living stems from high housing costs rather than labor market conditions

A third of young adults between the ages of 25 and 35 – 25.2 million people – were living with their parents in 2025. Of those, 70% had jobs, and many held college degrees, highlighting that the increase in at-home living stems from high housing costs rather than labor market conditions.

Isn't it "labor market conditions" when despite the degrees and being employed they don't earn enough to live on their own?
It is like: minimum wage workers don't deserve to have free time and nice things. Quoting my favorite Disney song: "barely even human".
