New
York Times (24 JUNE 2014) The reality of student debt is different from the
clichés
The
deeply indebted college graduate has become a stock character in the national
conversation: the art history major with $50,000 in debt, the underemployed
barista with $75,000, the struggling poet with $100,000.
The
anecdotes have created the impression that such high levels of student debt are
typical. But they’re not. They are outliers, and they’re warping our
understanding of bigger economic problems.
In
fact, the share of income that young adults are devoting to loan repayment has
remained fairly steady over the last two decades, according to data the
Brookings Institutions is releasing on Tuesday. Only 7 percent of young-adult
households with education debt have $50,000 or more of it. By contrast, 58
percent of such households have less than $10,000 in debt, and an additional 18
percent have between $10,000 and $20,000.
