Consumers aren’t the only ones feeling the pinch from the rapid rise in interest rates this year. More mortgage firms are starting to let workers go as demand for mortgage refinancings falls off a cliff.
Cahill declined to detail how many workers were let go and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment hasn’t published a notice detailing the downsizing.
