For instance, a four-year public college in 1977 cost $8,000 vs. $20,000 today, while median incomes have stayed flat at $34,000 over the same time period. Median debt has risen from $10,000 to $33,000, while the percent of those 30-year-olds who own homes has dropped from 48 percent to 39 percent since 1977. So many questions. At least there was no mention of Oregon Trail! * Comparing distributions of income would be useful. * The lower rate of home ownership could indicate increased time-preference. I’m curious to know the categories of debt in both time periods. * The article shows the increase in state-school tuition but not private. Are millenials who attended college more or less likely to have attended State U?
