IIRC the fed puts it at more like 30%. But your point stands.
- jjcon 5y agoIts 12.9% as of May 2021 https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/loans/student-loans/how-many-americans-have-student-loan-debt https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/loans/student-loans/how-m... I think you are thinking about the percent of Americans with a bachelor's degree (32.1%).
- rootusrootus 5y agoYou're right (though the estimate seems to vary depending on who is reporting it, for some reason). What I saw was 30% of attendees take on student loans to pay for their education, according to the fed [0]. I misinterpreted that to mean that 30% had student loans right now.
