What changed

Unemployment fell 0.5 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 85% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 0.2 percentage points lower than in 2022 (3.8% then, 3.6% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 2.9% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view
Unemployment fell about 0.3 percentage points a year from 2015 to 2025.
