I know a lot of people who went back home after graduation. For most of them, however, it was their desire to stay close to home and their families. They would major in engineering/biology/etc., but arn't able to find jobs in W.Va. So they go to the mines or the chemical factories, and never leave. Also, a lot of people just arn't able to afford moving out on their own. I'm going to have about $40,000 in loans when I graduate (add $100,000 if I go to law school), and while I have no deisre to go back home, I may have no other choice.
I should also mention my older sister, who majored in art, moved back home because she couldn't find a job, and now works for a call center. She's really hoping to get a job at A.C. Moore. My parents are rather upset with spending money to send her to school for five years, only to have her make minimum wage.
