The U.S. Department of Education has released the findings of a 10-year study that reveal almost one in four - 22.6 per cent - of 26-year-olds are still living with their parents.
The First Look report followed 13,000 high school sophomores in 2002 through to 2012, when they were all about 26 years old.
The statistics give an insight into the lives and living arrangements of millennials, who entered adulthood during the recession.
