A new report on youth well-being in San Diego County found that fewer young people are earning enough money to support themselves.
In 2008, 20% of 18- to 24-year-olds who lived alone were making a self-sufficient wage. In 2023, just 9% were.
“For young adults, this has real implications,” the report’s authors from the Policy and Innovation Center wrote. “It can delay major milestones like moving out, starting a family, or saving for the future.”
KPBS wants to hear from young adults in San Diego. Are you working your first full-time job? How does your income shape your living arrangements and daily decisions? If you’re living on your own, how are you doing it?
