Young Adults in the United States: A 2005 Profile
Principal Investigator Rubén Rumbaut
  Rumbaut is developing a new and much expanded national-level analysis of the status of young adults 18-34 in the U.S. and of their adult transitions, focusing on three main groups: 18–24-year olds; 25–29-year-olds; and 30–34-year-olds. The analysis relies on the latest data from the 2005 Current Population Survey and provides a mid-decade “update” that follows (in expanded form) the profile produced for the Network in 2004 using data from the 2000 census. The statistical work and data tables along with an accompanying report will be presented to the Network at our next meeting in August 2006.
