What changed

Unemployment fell 0.3 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 69% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2022 (2.2% then, 2.4% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 1.7% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
