Washington -- Employment in the overall mortgage industry hit a record 489,400 full-time positions in January but broker jobs appear to be slipping.

According to figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of real estate credit employees reached a record 366,300, but mortgage and non-mortgage broker jobs came in at 123,100 positions, the lowest reading since September of last year.

Added together, real estate credit employees and mortgage and non-mortgage brokers account for total industry employment.

In 2004, mortgage lenders funded $2.7 trillion in loans, the industry's second-best year ever, but a 30% decline from the record year of 2003.

Employment in the industry is expected to remain strong as long as mortgage rates do not rise ...
