Breaking down the unemployment rate by race shows a stark racial disparity in the District, according to a study released earlier this week by the Economic Policy Institute.

The overall unemployment rate in D.C. in the third quarter of 2015 was 6.8 percent. But whereas the District’s white population had an unemployment rate of just 2.4 percent, African Americans have the highest unemployment rate in the country (caveat: this study compares D.C. to states)—at 13.6 percent. The national average is 9.2 percent. Conversely, Latinos in D.C. have the lowest unemployment rate in the country at 3.7 percent, compared to 6.4 percent nationally.

According to government figures released today, the national unemployment rate fell to a seven-year low—5 percent—in September.

The D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute and WalletHub also released reports this year noting that the wage gap between D.C.’s low-income workers and high-income workers is on the rise—many of the lowest income workers are black and Latino.

Earlier this year, Mayor Muriel Bowser attributed the city’s high overall unemployment numbers, in part, to young adults who have a 12.4 percent unemployment rate, CBSLocal reported.
