HOW MANY 27-YEAR OLDS ARE LIVING IN THEIR PARENTS’ BASEMENTS? More than are living with roommates. This is true even for college graduates.
Plus, note this graphic: In 2011, today’s 27-year-olds were more likely to be earning less than $15,000 a year from work than they were to be earning more than $40,000.
And another interesting observation: “Associate’s degree holders are both most likely to be married or a home owner. They, apparently, are the grown ups at this age.”
