Over 9,000 Mortgage Layoffs in Q3

DALLAS, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Employers slashed more than 9,000 mortgage jobs in the third quarter, according to employment data tracked by http://www.MortgageDaily.com. Still, job losses were down more than 80 percent from last year.

From July 1 to Sept. 30, MortgageDaily.com tracked 10,131 U.S. mortgage layoffs and 996 mortgage hirings. Layoffs exceeded hirings by 9,135.

    Period                                    Net Job Change

Hirings and layoffs tracked by MortgageDaily.com generally involved at least 50 people. The findings were based on an analysis of 38 companies that either added or eliminated employees. The report also reflected jobs lost when companies collapsed.
