The addition of jobs are always a good sign and its always good to hear about them, but now more than ever its a welcome piece of information. With unemployment reaching 9.5 percent, something we never expected, anyone watching the news is happy to learn of new jobs being created, especially in the privet sector. 83 thousand private sector jobs were added in June.

We have lost 22 thousand construction jobs so the 83 thousand job figure is not quite enough to get us back on track. With the housing and other markets depending on people finding jobs, we need an influx of jobs to saturate our economy to get us out of the economic downturn we find ourselves in these days.

An already popular Fannie Mae is going to hold home owners to their contracts, even if they are completely upside down. More and more people these days are deciding to simply walk away from their mortgages, deciding that the hit to their credit is worth getting out of a contract where they are paying at least 20% more than the house is currently worth. With employment down in the U.S. and the housing market tanking, people just cant hold on.

Now Fannie Mae is going to make sure they get theirs. If they have evidence that people had the means to stay in their homes and chose to default on their loans they will not secure another loan for up to 7 years as well as take borrowers to court seeking to recover losses through deficiency judgments.

The good news is that if you lose your job, have an illness, get a divorce, or are otherwise unable to make your payments they will work with you to come up with alternatives. Pray for an illness! Terence Edwards, Fannie Mae's executive vice president for credit portfolio management said in a press release, "Walking away from a mortgage is bad for borrowers and bad for communities, and our approach is meant to deter the disturbing trend toward strategic defaulting." Makes you wonder how the bailout is working out for them.
