Your income, when adding the second W-2, jumps into the 32% tax bracket. The tax system is a graduated system so it starts out at zero and gradually rises as the income rises.
Again, this can easily happen when you have a second job. The federal withholding is based on number of pay periods and then gross taxable pay each period. You can look at the employer withholding tables if you like. But this is a normal outcome in your situation if your not prepared.
