BLS Reality Check: Unemployment by Race (Seasonally Adjusted:
I pulled the official numbers from the BLS Employment Situation release (Table A-2) and charted the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate (%) for selected months.
Selected months (SA):
β’ White: 3.8 (Nov β24) β 3.7 (Jul β25) β 3.7 (Aug β25) β 3.8 (Sep β25) β 3.9 (Nov β25)
β’ Asian: 3.8 β 3.9 β 3.6 β 4.4 β 3.6
β’ Black: 6.4 β 7.2 β 7.5 β 7.5 β 8.3
Source (BLS):
TL;DR: This is what the official data shows for unemployment by race across those months.
