The student debt crisis in the U.S. is set to take center-stage once again, as the COVID-related forbearance period on federal loans comes to a close. Employees will be eager — and desperate — to work for organizations that offer benefits designed to reduce this burden.
For healthcare workers, that help is even more crucial: healthcare workers tend to leave school with student debt up to six-figures, with doctors managing average debt loads of $241,600, according to research from the Education Data Initiative, a research organization that collects and organizes data and statistics about the U.S. education system. Nurses can be hit with student debt upwards of $50,000.
