In the first two months of the second quarter, 865 jobs were added to the payrolls of Hampden County.
As a result of these new jobs, the average monthly unemployment rate fell from 9.7% during the first
quarter to 9% for April and May. This steady job creation may help to maintain demand for home
purchases. Favorable mortgage rates should support this trend.
