In an economy that is currently in the depths–a depth that some are hesitantly calling the second coming of the Great Depression–Americans all over are reeling from the impact.

Graduating Into Debt, presented by the New York Times, is a snapshot into the lives of recent college grads living in New Paltz, New York, who are all struggling with finding and maintaining the secure financial stability they were promised with a degree; and the heartbreakingly honest look at how America views them as disposable.
