Mortgage rates have been heading down recently, following bond yields lower. The Labor Department released the Employment Situation Summary for June this morning. Non-farm payroll employment declined 125,000 in June and the unemployment rate fell to 9.5%. The census layoffs (225,000 jobs) caused the payroll number to decline for the first time this year and the unemployment rate fell because 652,000 people gave up looking for work. Overall the report wasn’t rosy which will probably drive bond yields and mortgage rates lower.
