Average advertised asking rents were up 0.6%, on a trailing three-month basis through July, to $2,049, 40 basis points ahead of the U.S. The metro led all other major markets for year-over-year rent growth, at 4.1% as of July. Meanwhile, the national figure stood at 0.8%, as noted in the <a href=\"\/blog\/national-multifamily-market-report\/\" rel=\"\"><strong>U.S. multifamily market report<\/strong><\/a>. Chicago also led growth in the single-family rental sector, clocking in at 5.9% in the same month.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-QFMJU\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"Chicago vs. National Rent Growth\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/QFMJU\/2\/\" height=\"336\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Line chart\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Job growth slowed, with the year-over-year figure at 0.4% through May, half the 0.8% U.S. figure. Unemployment told a similar story, with the rate at 5.0% as of June, 90 basis points above the U.S., according to preliminary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Through the 12 months ending in May, the metro added 17,600 net jobs, with education and health services leading growth (16,300 positions combined). Three sectors lost a combined 19,700 jobs. Still, major investments continue to be made in the metro, including the $7 billion 1901 Project, a redevelopment of the area around the United Center that was approved earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-QoGfb\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"Chicago Employment Share by Sector\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/QoGfb\/1\/\" height=\"417\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After adding roughly 20,000 units over the past two years, Chicago\u2019s development pipeline recently slowed down.
