The rate in October 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, was 12.4%.

In Orange County, where seasonally adjusted numbers were not available, the October jobless rate was 5%, the same as September.

Statewide, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.3% in October, down from 7.5% in September and below the 9.8% rate from October 2020. The comparable estimates for the nation were 4.6% in October, 4.8% in September and 6.9% in October 2020.
