In 2008, an absolute indication of a recession was the decline in auto buying, insurance companies requiring assistance, retail stores closing with massive lay-offs stemming from these markets. As a result, these individuals now unemployed were unable to pay their monthly mortgage payments which resulted in home foreclosures. A foreclosure is legal proceeding that bars or extinguishes a mortgagor’s right of redeeming a mortgaged estate (“foreclosure“, n.d.). In New Jersey, the statewide foreclosure rate is 0.03% and the unemployment rate is 9.7% resulting from the loss of 179,400 high paying jobs that were replaced by lower paying jobs (Mackenzie, 2009, p. 1).

This is the American dream to find decent employment based on your skills and education in order to purchase a home and raise a family but today where has this simple dream diminish to. Every law abiding citizen that makes a living and has a mortgage deserves to obtain a decent paying job to maintain all that they work hard for in life.
In conclusion, the foreclosure crisis is a dilemma that must be approached from the aspect that it is not enough to develop a program to assist in crises but providing career options to enable homeowners to maintain gainful employment for the life of their mortgage should be the primary focus because gainful employment guarantees the mortgage will be paid on time.

I had heard a great deal about how it was “bad,” along with how many people lost their jobs, but no one ever really went into depth of why it was bad, and maybe I guess I never had the curiosity or interest to ask until recently. Throughout this class, we’ve spoken about things from the first
