Getting Your Employer to Pay Off Your Student Loans
For some young employees, the most important benefit an employer can offer is not health care or 401K matching, but student loan repayment assistance. Companies are pursuing the option to lure millennial employees.

86% of millennials would commit to an employer for 5 years if the company helped pay back their student loans.

92% would take advantage of a match for student loan repayments similar to a 401(k) match.
