Sep 30

Total unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 4.0% --> 4.3%
White unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 3.5% --> 3.7%
Black unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 6.2% --> 7.5%
. . . from 1.8X the white unemployment rate to 2.0X

The white unemployment rate isn't shown on the graph, but it's in the table
