Millennial Labs

U.S. Census Bureau data shows that 47 percent of New Jerseyans aged 18 to 34 years live with mom and dad (or one of the two), which is the highest percentage among the 50 states. In a time of rising student debt, housing costs and other expenses, an estimated 884,000 of the state’s 1.87 million residents in that age group share living space with parents due to the inability to absorb high housing costs, rising costs in many other areas, and a very challenging job market. To address this issue, Loving Our Cities piloted Millennial Labs in 2020, a workforce development initiative designed as a pathway for young adults to obtain paid, practical experience to aid in their personal and professional development.
