Differences between African Americans and Hispanics were also present for women and men when separated into different groups based on gender and age. Hispanic men had an unemployment rate of 11.2 percent, while black men saw their unemployment rate remain the highest of all demographics, at 18 percent. Hispanic women did better than African American women, with an unemployment rate of 11.1 percent, lower than the 13.7 percent rate for African American women. White women did better than any other demographic, maintaining an unemployment rate of 7.4 percent.
