The latest data for the second quarter of 2026 shows that the US white unemployment rate edged up slightly from the previous 3.7% to 3.8%. Although the unemployment rate for a single demographic group rose slightly, overall nonfarm payrolls added 172,000 jobs in May, far exceeding market expectations. The robust labor market performance has raised institutional concerns that the Federal Reserve may further postpone the timing of interest rate cuts.
