Student-Loan Debt Reaches Record $1 Trillion, Report Says

By Janet Lorin - Mar 22, 2012 11:17 AM ET

U.S. student-loan debt reached the $1 trillion mark, as young borrowers struggle to keep up with soaring tuition costs, according to the initial findings of a government study. 

The figure, which is higher than the country’s credit-card debt, was probably reached “several months ago,” Rohit Chopra of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said in a posting yesterday, excerpted from a speech he made at the Consumer Bankers Association meeting in Austin, Texas.
