Survey: Job insecurity leading to home purchase delays

Nearly 57% of workers from households earning less than $50,000 report delaying or canceling a major purchase. That compares with 48% of households making $50,000 to $100,000 and 35% of those earning more than $100,000. Among renters, nearly half (49%) say they were holding off on major purchases compared with 27% of homeowners. Roughly a third (32%) of respondents say their job security had no impact on their purchasing decisions.
