It still begs the question of where people are getting the money to live on from. It has to come from somewhere.

Large pools of official data would trump your anecdotal evidence.

As for where they are getting money from, we don't know. It could be cutting costs by moving in with parents or eliminating expenses. Perhaps dual-income homes have decided they'd rather be single-income homes where one parent stays with the kids. Or a mix of a bunch of factors.

What we do know is that the jobs available and the pay is not enticing enough for the public.

I should add that there are not articles about labor shortages in the 6-figure executive field. Odd how the high paying jobs are easy to fill. Maybe there is a correlation between pay and working.
