  • Despite lower home prices and record low mortgage rates, job losses remain a hurdle to home ownership in a large number of markets and have created a pall over consumer confidence in general.
  • Atlanta had 24,300 fewer employed persons in June of 2011 versus the same month a year earlier.
  • This figure was nearly double that of Philadelphia, the market with the 3rd largest decline in employed workers over this same time period.
