Average College Debt Climbs to Nearly $27,000 Per Student

A new study from the Institute for College Access & Success’ Project on Student Debt shows that average graduating student debt climbed by 5% in 2011 to nearly $27,000.

As CNN reports, high debt levels have combined with high unemployment to form the perfect storm for young grads:

The increase comes at a time when unemployment has remained stubbornly high for college graduates – it was at 8.8% for 2011. Those without a college degree are more than twice as likely to end up without jobs, however. The unemployment rate for recent high school graduates was 19.1% last year.
