In New Jersey, average student loan debt is close to $30,000.

President Joe Biden Wednesday announced new measures to help millions of Americans get out from under crushing student loan debt, which has ballooned nationally to nearly $2 trillion. The centerpiece of the president's plan is $10,000 in student loan forgiveness to individuals making less than $125,000, or $250,000 for families.
