So although the rate of job growth is expected to slow down, jobs will be created nonetheless, including new jobs in the long-beleaguered manufacturing sector.

FHA Program Linked to High Colorado Foreclosure Rate
An illuminating article in the Denver Post connects the dots between Colorado’s high foreclosure rate and an FHA program gone awry: “Created to extend the dream of homeownership to first-time buyers, the so-called FHA gift program instead has led to rampant foreclosures. It’s not uncommon here in California for buyers to submit an offer above the asking price, with the contingency that the sellers will cover an inflated amount in closing costs for the buyer. Nearly 6,000 FHA loans have wound up in foreclosure in Colorado in the past two years, and during that time the program allowed more than 25 percent of FHA buyers to use gifts as down payments.” The article recounts several stories of homeowners who paid just a few hundred dollars to buy their home, using a loophole in the program to obtain the 3 percent required down payment from the sellers — by way of a nonprofit agency.
