Start with the dated local finding: As of May 2026, Diamond Bar, CA's unemployment rate was unchanged from 4.7% in April 2026 to 4.7% in May 2026, a change of 0.0 percentage points. That movement may matter when a borrower is pressure-testing timing, reserves, or the documentation needed after a job or income change. It does not reveal that a particular employer is hiring or cutting jobs, and it cannot establish one applicant's income stability, mortgage eligibility, or loan price. For borrower planning, the release also estimates 1,278 people unemployed within a labor force of 26,937, which shows the scale of the movement without turning a city-level statistic into a borrower-level conclusion. Because LAUS values can be revised, keep the May 2026 source period attached to the comparison and verify household records separately.

Over the year ending May 2026, Diamond Bar, CA's unemployment rate rose from 4.5% in May 2025 to 4.7%, a change of 0.2 percentage points.
