Hiring didn't recover for years after that. I'm glad you weren't affected, but a large majority were.

If the economy is the main variable still, you would predict the line to start plunging now that the economy is humming?

My first "housing" was one room with no window and a shared bathroom down the hall. So I worked very hard to change that situation. My hypothesis is that smartphones plus living with parents is such a good deal compared to hard work that it's demotivating.

Yeah, how naive. See, as Scott knows, you don't have to support your claim with relevant evidence on Twitter or show a causal link, you just put up a chart and make an associative leap to support your unsubstantiated claim, then just dismiss any criticism.

Do you know how question marks work? They indicate questions, not claims. Don't assume you know my intent. You don't.

Wow you're really struggling here to avoid accepting that you came up with a bad, completely baseless theory and look like a dumbass. I'm sure deflecting by implying that people are new to Twitter and then pretending you weren't implying that will help you out.

The base of the theory is that friction and incentives influence human behavior. Smartphones make living at home far more tolerable. The economy was the trigger, but smartphones (hypothesis with a question) likely create couch lock and a degradation of incentive to leave.
