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):
• White: 3.8 (Nov ’24) → 3.7 (Jul ’25) → 3.7 (Aug ’25) → 3.8 (Sep ’25) → 3.9 (Nov ’25)
• Asian: 3.8 → 3.9 → 3.6 → 4.4 → 3.6
• Black: 6.4 → 7.2 → 7.5 → 7.5 → 8.3
Source (BLS):
TL;DR: This is what the official data shows for unemployment by race across those months.
