What changed

Unemployment rose 0.3 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 70% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2022 (3.7% then, 3.9% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 3.5% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
