The unemployment rate is up a tick to 4.2 percent. It's been "around 4 percent" for a couple of years, and looks like it's staying nearby.
Line chart titled "The unemployment rate has been roughly flat over the past two years" showing the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate as a percent of the labor force. The rate stood at 4.2% in September 2026, remaining stable in the 4.0% to 4.5% range throughout 2025 and 2026. This follows a gradual rise from a low of 3.4% in April 2023, representing an increase of 0.8 percentage points over three years before plateauing at current levels.

Wage growth just keeps slowing. And yes, wages are rising slower than prices, and no, that's not how economic growth is meant to work.
Line chart titled "Nominal wage growth is slowing" showing year-over-year growth in average hourly earnings of private-sector workers. Wage growth has declined steadily from a peak of 5.9% in early 2022 to 3.0% in September 2026, the slowest rate in the series. This nearly 3 percentage point drop over four and a half years indicates significantly cooler labor market conditions, with the deceleration accelerating in recent months as growth fell from the 3.7-3.9% range in 2025 to the low 3% range currently.

I doubt much of those increases are having much of an effect yet. The increase in yields only happened in Feb and loans roll over at different times, businesses usually set their capital spending annually.Adding 132bps to the 10 year will matter, especially if it sticks around.

The reason fed interest rate hikes hit the economy with long and variable lags is because it takes time for the overnight rate to affect long-term rates and for those rates to affect the economy. It seems early to say the economy has been remarkably resilient in the face of higher yields.
