The point of the article is that while more people aged 18-30 are 'living at home', the entire phrase 'living at home' is completely disingenuous and the conversation is normally held to take shots at the youngest adult generation with implications of laziness, entitlement, etc.
When in reality any 'spike' in kids living at home is clearly correlated with a different take on education than what the generations before had.
Where they are after school would require a little more research - do you have information that says they're still living at home for a significant period of time? (I say significant because it's not abnormal to live at home for 6 months post-graduation while trying to look for a job... for example)

I doubt that this is about recent college grads at home ,I for one certanly understand that point have no problem with it at all .
I am curiouse about when you say... "When in reality any 'spike' in kids living at home is clearly correlated with a different take on education than what the generations before had."... could you explain that a little ,what do you mean "a different take on education"?
