Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, 52% of young adults are living with their parents, according to a new analysis by Pew Research center. The number is now the highest on record, according to Pew, surpassing the 48% peak recorded during the Great Depression. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large portion of 18- to 29-year-olds were living with a parent. A 2016 report said millennial men were more likely to live with a mom or dad than with a significant other. But the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the economic outlook for this generation struggling financially, pushing 2.6 million more young people to move back home.
