Forget the questionable unemployment claims figures from yesterday. Together with last Friday’s dismal hiring numbers, this report verifies that May was one of actual economic decline.

Maybe people started paying their mortgages again, and all that disposable cash dried up?

Yes. The income tax refunds dried up, and there were large paper losses in the equity markets. People just don’t have any money, and now are a little worried about the future. Bad for retail.
