Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac:

“Mortgage rates fell further this week following a lackluster employment report for March. The economy added just 88,000 new jobs last month, about one-third as many as February and the fewest since June 2012. In addition, approximately 496,000 people left the workforce causing the unemployment rate to fall to 7.6 percent. Further, average hourly earnings were unchanged in March, indicating income growth remains tepid.”
