NAR Study: Housing affordability impacting job growth



Metro areas where affordability has worsened over the last five years have seen a decline in job growth during that same period. These findings came from a new National Association of Realtors study, which examined the top 174 metro areas and ranked them based on affordability. The NAR analyzed the shift in affordability ranking, considering the pace of non-farm payroll job growth in 2019 Q3 compared to average job growth from 2014 to 2018.
