“Everyone” isn’t unemployed, 8-10% are.
No one will refinance you without a job. Would you if you were in their place?

For BOTH cases, you MUST refinance. In order to refinance, you must meet the qualifications of buying the house for the first time. If you have no job, you are unable to refinance. This is NOTHING new or isolated to your case. Everyone is NOT basically unemployed. Unemployment rate is under 10%, meaning that over 90% of able bodied people are WORKING. You are the minority in not working, NOT grouped in with “everyone”. Many many people are enjoying these low rates, but ONLY those who QUALIFY. You are not entitled to a refinance or low rates…you must EARN them and be in a position to apply for them.
