This book was released on 2017 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As of May 2013, total outstanding student loan debt in the United States had reached $1.2 trillion, up from $1 trillion fewer than 18 months before. The growth in debt is due primarily to increases in both the rate of borrowing and the average amount borrowed, especially among graduates of 4-year institutions. In 1989-90, about half (51 percent) of college seniors had taken out federal student loans; 60 percent of 1999-2000 seniors had done so, as had 68 percent of 2011-12 college seniors. Adjusting for inflation to 2013-14 dollars, the average cumulative amount taken out in federal loans by borrowers in their senior year of college also increased over this time period, from $15,200 in 1989-90, to $22,100 in 1999-2000, and $26,300 in 2011-12. Despite rising student debt levels, the average increase in lifetime earnings from a bachelor's degree relative to a high school diploma still exceeds average student loan debt. Recent research has found a lifetime earnings premium for those with bachelor's degrees, relative to those with only a high school diploma, of just under 70 percent. Other work has also found a clear financial advantage to earning a bachelor's degree. Nevertheless, there is concern about such negative effects of student loan debt for both individual borrowers and the economy as a reduction of home or auto purchases, net worth, and intergenerational financial security. There is evidence that bachelor's degree recipients with high student debt are less likely than their low-debt peers to work in such sectors as government, nonprofit organizations, or education. Additionally, compared to those without student debt, graduates with debt also have lower rates of attending graduate school, owning a home, and having savings or investments. Bachelor's degree recipients who graduated in 2007-08 may experience particular difficulties in repaying student loan debt. These graduates entered the labor market just as the economy was contracting and therefore faced poor employment conditions after they had already decided to incur student debt in a prerecession economy. Building on a previous study of these graduates' debt burden 1 year after they had received their degrees, this Statistics in Brief examines their loan repayment over a longer repayment window, 4 years after graduation, almost midway through the standard 10-year loan repayment period. The report examines debt accumulated for all postsecondary education, including any debt incurred for education programs in which graduates enrolled after completing the 2007-08 bachelor's degree. Additionally, this study utilizes a recent cohort of students, providing an update to older longitudinal studies of debt burden. Since this report examines a cohort of students who received bachelor's, and in some cases graduate, degrees, these estimates should not be compared with the debt and repayment experiences of students who earned certificates or associate's degrees or did not complete a postsecondary credential. The following are appended: (1) Data Tables; and (2) Standard Error Tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a comprehensive set of tables about the debt of recent college graduates for three cohorts of bachelor’s degree recipients spanning a 15-year period. Tables feature statistics on loan repayment, further educational pursuits, and employment status of first-time bachelor’s degree recipients who graduated in 1992–93, 1999–2000, and 2007–08. Borrowing and debt detail includes the percentage of college graduates who borrowed, the cumulative amount borrowed to obtain a bachelor’s degree, repayment status after 1 year, average amounts owed, average monthly payments, and debt burden for all three cohorts. Tables also present information about subsequent enrollment in post-bachelor’s education, participation in the labor market, including K-12 teaching, and annual salary. Lastly, tables present graduates’ debt status relative to their living arrangements, (with parents, own or rent residence), family formation, and whether borrowers had a spouse also repaying loans. All tables are broken out by key demographic, enrollment, and employment characteristics. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compares the borrowing patterns of two cohorts of bachelor's degree recipients and examines their debt burdens (defined as monthly payments as a percentage of monthly salary income) a year after they graduated, using data from the 1993/94 and 2000/01 Baccalaureate and Beyond Studies. The participants in these studies were first interviewed as part of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Studies conducted in 1992-93 and 1999-2000, which are based on nationally representative samples of students enrolled in postsecondary education and are designed to provide detailed information on how students and their families pay for college. The following sections are included in this report: (1) Introduction; (2) Borrowing for Undergraduate Education; (3) Loan Repayment; (4) Debt Burden; and (5) Summary and Conclusions. The following are appended: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 24 tables & 9 figures.).

Book excerpt: The first part of this report describes the undergraduate borrowing patterns of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients and their graduate enrollment and additional borrowing through 2003. These graduates would have completed their undergraduate borrowing prior to the changes introduced by the 1992 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. At that time, only students with financial need could have participated in federal loan programs as undergraduates. The second part examines the repayment of undergraduate loans for bachelor's degree recipients who had no additional degree enrollment, providing details on how many had finished repaying their loans by 2003, who were still repaying and how much, what their debt burden was, and how they had managed their Stafford loan repayment over the 10-year period. As borrowing has increased, long-standing concerns about students' ability to repay their loans and the effect of the debt on their lives after college have intensified. Important ongoing policy questions related to keeping student debt manageable include how much student aid the federal government should provide in the form of loans versus grants, how much students should be allowed to borrow, who should qualify for subsidized loans, and what the repayment terms should be. Appended are: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 21 tables and 5 figures.).

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Viriginia Commonwealth University (Viriginia Commonwealth University), course: Urban Economics, language: English, abstract: At a time when the government estimates that two million new teachers will be needed in the next decade, the large student-loan debt that college graduates face may deter students from entering public-service careers like teaching and social work. More generally, this circumstance will lead to a lack of education and will ultimately create for today’s generation and future generations unsolvable problems. In the media the key phrase “sustainable development” is often used, but nobody connects it to the field of education. This is a sad fact, for education is a fundamental value of every well functioning society, offering not only pure knowledge, but also developing important guidelines and moral norms that enable a human community to survive and to flourish. The US is struggling right now, still facing issues like racism, discrimination and violence that were said to be solved. Consequently minorities unify and segregate themselves into isolation; the gap between rich and poor continues to grow. If the government does not realize that lack of education is the root of ongoing conflicts and sticks on its course underfund education, the gap between wealth and poverty is going to become a crucial obstacle for a modern America that is continuing to claim a hegemony role worldwide.

This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study used data from the Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B) and Beginning Postsecondary Student (BPS) studies to examine: the early labor force experiences of college students who either graduated or dropped out; student borrowing for postsecondary education; and student loan debt burden and repayment status. The B&B group (n=11,000) was followed one year after graduation in 1992-93. The nonbaccalaureates (n=8000) were those from the BPS group who enrolled in 1989-90 but did not graduate. Among the study's findings were: 87 percent of the graduates and 81 percent of the nonbaccalaureate group were employed in April of 1994; the average salary in 1994 was $22,100 for graduates and $16,600 for non-graduates; during the first year of graduation, about 29 percent of graduates had experienced unemployment, whereas among the nonbaccalaureate group, about one-third had experienced unemployment (since 1989); nearly one half of the graduates borrowed some money for their education--an average of $10,200; one year after graduating, 63 percent of bachelor's degree recipients had no debt; 29 percent of graduates were required to make loan payments, and the remaining 8 percent still owed but were not required to make payments; graduates were repaying on average of $136 per month, non-graduates an average of $76 per month. Appendixes include a glossary and technical notes on the methodology.(DM)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While research has consistently found strong positive earnings returns to the bachelor's degree, recent evidence also highlights heterogeneity in post-college outcomes. Combined with increases in the proportions of students borrowing to enroll, heterogeneity in college outcomes introduces the risk that some students with college degrees may experience financial hardship after graduation. Using nationally representative data on baccalaureate recipients in 1993 and 2008, this paper jointly examines labor market and debt outcomes four years after students graduate, with a focus on exploring heterogeneity by institution type and major field of study, as well as trends over time. Results confirm that the typical graduate fares well after college, both in terms of earnings and debt management. Borrowing rates and debt loads have increased substantially over time, but these substantially higher levels of debt are nonetheless manageable for the vast majority of graduates. Within this context of positive outcomes, stratification by institution type, for both earnings and debt outcomes, appears to be increasing. Similarly, while the top-earning majors have remained quite stable over time, the magnitude of the advantage of engineering, math/computer science, and business graduates has grown notably. Examining debt alongside earnings only reinforces the patterns by major: higher earning fields also have lower debt-to-earnings ratios. Overall, these patterns offer reassurance regarding the typical returns to bachelors' degrees, even for those graduating into the Great Recession, and even in light of growing debt loads. But the results also provide evidence that students' choices about where to attend and what to study have only become more consequential over time. The following tables are appended: (1) Employment, Enrollment, and Debt Outcomes by Gender; (2) Employment, Enrollment, and Debt Outcomes by Self-Reported Race/Ethnicity; and (3) Employment, Enrollment, and Debt Outcomes by Highest Parental Education.
