The US Black unemployment rate in Q3 2026 (August) fell to 6.0% from the previous 6.3%, though this is likely driven by a decline in the labor force participation rate. Although overall nonfarm payroll growth exceeded expectations, the reduction in federal government vacancies continues to disproportionately impact Black workers, planting hidden risks for the labor market.
