    This is a classic example of “chart junk.” The scale means nothing, there are no measures, the background has elements that interfere with the measurements. Not good information design, and not very informative.

    What is the average socio-economic profile of a person in the highest percentile of student debt. Who, what, when, where, why? HOW???

    I know I’ve got way more than the highest percentile illustrated. How did that happen???

    I’m new to GOOD. Tell me. Are these “articles” written to stack the archive? Because that what it seems like. There’s not really any information here. Or is it resources are too limited for further investigation?

    Article a bitr vague, but at least it raises a serious topic, high paying jobs are in decline in America, and house prices are still punitively expensive, by American standards. Rough to be a twenty something, with that millstome around your neck
