Companies looking to attract recent graduates should consider student loan management as part of their benefit package, as many student loan borrowers would prefer to work for a company that offers them some relief from their payments, according to survey results released Sept. 1 by Iontuition.
Iontuition found that nearly 80 percent of the 1,000 individuals surveyed in July 2015 who said they had student loan debt indicated they would like to work for a company that offers repayment assistance, such as employers matching a portion of the employee's loan contributions.
