4 Project Overview Credit reporting student debt variables at the zip code level, thanks to Higher Ed, Not Debt. Matched with American Community Survey data on demographic and economic variables. Result: you can tell a lot about student debt from its geography, particularly within metropolitan areas. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

That disproportionate vulnerability exists even after controlling for income. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

16 Map 3: The Student Debt Crisis is a Labor Market Crisis For Map 3, we calculate debt burden : the share of income the goes toward paying off student loans. Debt burden is high in two types of zip code: Where labor market outcomes like employment rate and earnings are worst. Where loan amounts are highest. Marshall I.

27 Interpretation The student debt crisis is the consequence of a mistaken economic theory of inequality and under-employment: that it is driven by a skills gap. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

28 Interpretation The student debt crisis is the consequence of a mistaken economic theory of inequality and under-employment: that it is driven by a skills gap. The treatment arising from that mis-diagnosis was that more people should go to college, and they should take on debt to finance it. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

The treatment arising from that mis-diagnosis was that more people should go to college, and they should take on debt to finance it. The debt would be repayable because under the theory of the skills gap, it would lead to good jobs. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

The debt would be repayable because under the theory of the skills gap, it would lead to good jobs. Since the skills gap was never the problem, higher education attainment is not the solution. Graduates still do much better than non-graduates, because when jobs are scarce they are all filled by graduates. Graduating college, even with debt, is still a good choice, but not a good policy.

Bad labor market outcomes leave graduates and especially drop-outs saddled with uneconomic debts. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

33 Disparate Impact The impact on minority communities is especially severe, because the prescription of debt-financed college fails to account for historical disadvantage. Marshall I. Steinbaum National Association of Latino Elected Officials June 24, / 19

34 Disparate Impact The impact on minority communities is especially severe, because the prescription of debt-financed college fails to account for historical disadvantage. Higher education itself is segregated, increasingly so in the era of state disinvestment from public institutions and the rise of for-profits. Marshall I.

The credit market is segmented, with minorities paying more for worse terms. Experimental evidence reveals pervasive labor market discrimination, and minorities and immigrants lack access to the social networks required for social mobility. Minorities have a small fraction of the household wealth of white households, even among households with similar income levels. That turns short-term economic setbacks into disasters. Marshall I.

Experimental evidence reveals pervasive labor market discrimination, and minorities and immigrants lack access to the social networks required for social mobility. Minorities have a small fraction of the household wealth of white households, even among households with similar income levels. That turns short-term economic setbacks into disasters. For all these reasons, the policy of debt-financed college to reduce disparities was facile at best, and possibly counterproductive. Marshall I.
