19 Research Projects STUDENT LOANS: IS THERE A CRISIS? January 23, 2013 K. Edmiston, FRBKC 19

20 Student Loans: Is There a Crisis? Student loan debt has been increasing at a rapid pace in the last decade, climbing from about $364 billion in the first quarter of 2005 to $904 billion in the first quarter of 2012, a rate of 13.9 percent annually (compounded). High debt levels, coupled with high default rates, present a number of challenges for individual student loan borrowers, but do not necessarily pose a substantial burden on society at large.

28 Issues Driving Delinquency Recession and Recovery Most over-due balances for those over 30 Unemployment (real rate?), esp. for young Underemployment Slower wage and salary growth, esp. for young AP: 50% of young unemployed/underemployed Noncompletion Better prospects for completers (buying an asset; lifetime income) Especially high for for-profit (28% completion for-profit, 56% public, 65% private not-for-profit) No credit consideration Poor borrower information January 23, 2013 K.

30 Fiscal Impact Accrual-based budgeting (cont) Fair-value estimates CBO: 11 percent of disbursements Implies $13.3b (+$3b consolidation) Indirect Greater income tax revenues; lower costs Interest deductions Outlook Not expected to see much higher default rates Could see continued rapid increases in borrowing Reform options January 23, 2013 K.

31 Research Projects THE LMI COMMUNITY IN RECESSION AND RECOVERY: RESULTS FROM A NEW SURVEY (FORTHCOMING, FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF KANSAS CITY ECONOMIC REVIEW, Q1, 2013) January 23, 2013 K. Edmiston, FRBKC 31

32 Purpose of the Paper Primary How did the LMI community fare during the recession and recovery? Secondary Validation of the survey with other Fed Bank surveys and external data January 23, 2013 K. Edmiston, FRBKC 32

33 The LMI Community in Recession and Recovery: Results from a New Survey There is a dearth of data available on the LMI population, and the lack of data presents a considerable problem to those who would like to analyze economic conditions of this cohort. Lacking information to maintain a reliable gauge on economic conditions for the LMI population, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City stepped in to provide a new source for such information a quarterly survey of organizations that provide services directly to LMI individuals and families.
