Moving back in with parents

My mom and her friends (all baby boomers with adult children) have been experiencing a unique phenomenon during these hard times: adult, college graduate children (even ones with advanced degrees and impressive work histories) are moving back in with their parents because they cannot afford to live on their own due to lack of employment or underemployment. What 30 year old wants to move back in with mom? I know if I do not find some form of employment soon, at 25, I will also be moving back in with my mother.
