Mortgage delinquency vs job growth/unemployment

As problem mortgages increase, lenders have tightened their
standards, adding further to pressures on the housing market.

, but the impact on consumer
spending is likely to be "more pronounced".

-- Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com
