I'm going with the number still living with mommy and daddy as the evidence followed by the number who have children out of wedlock.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with living at home after school, if you are working and helping pay bills or at least looking for work and helping out around the house.
I'm going with the number still living with mommy and daddy...
That's a strange indicator. You don't think Millennials would like to move out?
Thing is, they're being handed a seriously crappy set of circumstances and they full well know it. The entrance level jobs are in Bangalore or Shenzen, the idea of an employer considering them anything but fleshy robots to be replaced at whim is a long-lost dream, and they're looking at a "gig economy" - i.e., no certainty of anything - for the foreseeable future.
And the older generation doesn't understand why they're not out there buying cars and houses, like good little consumers. I wouldn't.

The job market is poor, the housing market is trash, and entry level jobs are harder and harder to come by. Damn millennial, who by the way are the largest generation in the work force. But that's because the baby boomers and gen xer let them, right? Because only millennials are bad. Obviously.
As for children out of wedlock, 64% of millennial women, according to one study, had at least one child out of wedlock. This does not mean they aren't getting married. It means they are having a child before marriage, and possibly getting married later. But let this be a lesson: sex education is important. And I mean proper sex education, not that 'saving yourself' BS that statistically leads to more teen pregnancy that actual sex education. When we have a faction of people in the conservative party fighting to ensure abstinence education is being provided, there is no reason to expect a high number of unwanted pregnancy.
I don't know that millenials are 'dumb', but they are frequently...
1) Uninformed about history, the US Constitution and modern politics
2) Steeped (read: trained) in the lingo of identity politics
3) Uncritically accepting of many ideas that should be questioned, such as open borders.
I do not agree that they are uninformed about modern politics. Having a different opinion as you does not mean they are uniformed. It could be evidence of being naive, or it could just be an honest disagreement of principles. But I'd actually argue that millennials are the most interested in politics than any generation. Maybe not, but certainly not less than any previous generation.

Most of the political dialogue on social media are carried out by Milennials. The new breed of political commentators and pundits on cable news are milennials.
