In fact, for blacks, the rate has risen 0.7 percentage points. Asians have experiened a modest drop in unemployment and whites a disproportionate 0.7 percentage point drop. Hispanic and Latino workers realized the biggest gains, with a 0.8 percentage point drop. The best hedge against unemployment is education, with rates ranging from 13.3 percent for those without a high school degree to 4.6 percent for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.
