This analysis makes no sense. "In general, having more education means it’s less likely you’ll live at home: just 3% of PhDs live with their parents, versus a quarter of those with only a high school diploma." Never mind that you are probably about 30 by the time you finish PhD so they should have compared high school educated adults of the same age groups. If anything, this shows that people with higher education are more likely to live with their parents (see associates vs bachelors). Also, their claim that STEM degree holders are better off than those with social sciences degrees is unsubstantiated. Edit: In fact, I'm fairly certain that High School educated adults are less likely to live with their parents than Bachelors educated adults at the age of ~23 and possibly later. This is because 48% of all adults who live with their parents have to have a high school degree.
