One of the most under-talked-about problems in the U.S. right now is the student loan debt crisis.
According to LendEDU, 43.3 million borrowers in the U.S. collectively hold an outstanding student loan debt totaling $1.41 trillion.
LendEDU commissioned a poll that asked 515 millennials with student debt the following: “What is a bigger problem facing the United States?”.
Unlike the first question regarding global warming, millennials left no doubt that they think the student loan crisis is a bigger threat to the U.S. than is North Korea.
379 participants, or 69.7 percent, think the $1.41 trillion student loan debt situation is a bigger threat than North Korea.
On the other side, 165 millennials, or 30.3 percent, believe North Korea poses more of a threat than does the student loan crisis.
That being said, more than two times the amount of millennials still believe the student loan crisis poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than the rogue regime of North Korea, a testament to just how serious this nation’s student loan debt crisis is. »
