The seasonally-adjusted national unemployment rate is measured on a monthly basis in the United States. In February 2025, the national unemployment rate was at 4.1 percent. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical method of removing the seasonal component of a time series that is used when analyzing non-seasonal trends. U.S. monthly unemployment rate According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics - the principle fact-finding agency for the U.S. Federal Government in labor economics and statistics - unemployment decreased dramatically between 2010 and 2019. This trend of decreasing unemployment followed after a high in 2010 resulting from the 2008 financial crisis. However, after a smaller financial crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment reached 8.1 percent in 2020. As the economy recovered, the unemployment rate fell to 5.3 in 2021, and fell even further in 2022. Additional statistics from the BLS paint an interesting picture of unemployment in the United States. In November 2023, the states with the highest (seasonally adjusted) unemployment rate were the Nevada and the District of Columbia. Unemployment was the lowest in Maryland, at 1.8 percent. Workers in the agricultural and related industries suffered the highest unemployment rate of any industry at seven percent in December 2023.

In the first quarter of 2025 the unemployment rate for men in the United Kingdom was 4.4 percent, while for women it was 4.1 percent. The male unemployment rates seen in late 2020 were the highest since 2015, while the rates for women reached heights last seen in 2016. During the provided time period, the unemployment rate for men peaked in Q1 1993 at 12.7 percent, while for women the unemployment rate was highest in Q2 1984 when it was 11.8 percent. Unemployment uptick to continue? The overall unemployment rate for the UK was 4.4 percent in November 2024, which was quite low but, slightly above the record low rates seen in 2022. During that year, there was also a peak in the number of job vacancies in the UK, which reached 1.3 million in May 2022. Since that point, however, the number of vacancies has been falling, and was at its lowest level since May 2021 in January 2024, at 812,000. Current forecasts for unemployment anticipate an annual rate of 4.1 percent for 2025, although this may be revised upwards in the future. Youth unemployment in the UK The unemployment rate for people in the United Kingdom is heavily associated with age. For people aged between 16 and 24 years, for example, the unemployment rate was 14.8 percent in the third quarter of 2024, compared with just 2.3 percent for those aged between 35 and 49. As with the overall unemployment rate, young men had a higher unemployment rate at 17.7 percent, compared with 11.9 percent for young women in the third quarter of 2024.

The unemployment rate of the United Kingdom was 4.7 percent in May 2025, an increase from the previous month. Before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK had relatively low levels of unemployment, comparable with the mid-1970s. Between January 2000 and the most recent month, unemployment was highest in November 2011, when the unemployment rate hit 8.5 percent. Will unemployment continue to rise in 2025? Although low by historic standards, there has been a noticeable uptick in the UK's unemployment rate, with other labor market indicators also pointing to further loosening. In December 2024, the number of job vacancies in the UK fell to its lowest level since May 2021, while payrolled employment declined by 47,000 compared with November. Whether this is a continuation of a broader cooling of the labor market since 2022 or a reaction to more recent economic developments, such as upcoming tax rises for employers, remains to be seen. Forecasts made in late 2024 suggest that the unemployment rate will remain relatively stable in 2025, averaging out at 4.1 percent and falling again to four percent in 2026.
Demographics of the unemployed As of the third quarter of 2024, the unemployment rate for men was slightly higher than that of women, at 4.4 percent, compared to 4.1 percent. During the financial crisis at the end of the 2000s, the unemployment rate for women peaked at a quarterly rate of 7.7 percent, whereas for men, the rate was 9.1 percent. Unemployment is also heavily associated with age, and young people in general are far more vulnerable to unemployment than older age groups. In late 2011, for example, the unemployment rate for those aged between 16 and 24 reached 22.3 percent, compared with 8.2 percent for people aged 25 to 34, while older age groups had even lower peaks during this time.

The unemployment rate in Singapore raised to around 4.1 percent in 2020 from 3.1 percent in the year before. For many economies, this would be considered overemployment, but Singapore may have a lower natural unemployment rate than other economies.

What’s wrong with overemployment?

When there are not enough workers, firms are forced to hire anyone who is available. This means that employers may not select the best applicants but rather anyone who applies. This leads to lower productivity, because workers are not finding the job for which they are best suited. Companies may also have to offer wages that are so high that they also lead to a rise in prices and thus, to a higher inflation.

Singapore may be different

Singapore has a small, open economy. It has the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the region, indicating that it is an advanced economy. This is largely due to the small population, which is almost entirely urban. As such, its workforce may be better matched to employer needs, which would reduce the natural level of unemployment.

Accounting service providers have enjoyed steady growth over the past five years, buoyed by economic growth early on in the period and demand for monetary advice through the financial turmoil of the early 2020s. As revenue has expanded, new accounting service providers have begun operating locally, heightening competition between smaller companies and focusing on local clients like individual households. Steady 4.1% growth in aggregate private investment over the past five years created a greater need for accountants and proliferated a higher need for financial statements and tax preparation, although the effects of high interest rates limited smaller businesses' demand. Accounting services revenue grew at a CAGR of 0.2% to an estimated $145.5 billion over the past five years, including an expected 0.2% boost in 2025 alone. Profit slipped in recent years due to higher interest rates pushing accountants’ labor costs upward. In recent years, increased demand for accounting services has drastically outpaced the number of new accountants that have begun operating, enabling companies to raise prices, garner more revenue per client and allocate funding toward capital investment. Software that analyzes large data sets ("big data") and other labor-saving technologies have helped boost market share and competition with companies focusing on digital revenue generation. In addition, growth in the number of businesses nationally positively impacted the availability of commercial clients, particularly within the manufacturing and financial spaces. Steady interest in corporate tax analysis and guidance bolstered demand across the Big Four accounting firms, such as Deloitte and PwC, as clients sought professional input on how to navigate a turbulent fiscal market. Moving forward, the outlook for accountants is mixed. Competition will intensify in the consumer market because of a steady decline in the national unemployment rate and the record penetration of lower-cost alternatives, like online tax preparation. Higher interest rates will constrain business activity in the short term, although dampening inflation is poised to reverse this trend in the long run. Accounting service providers will integrate with nearly every aspect of the US economy, with new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) offering improved workflow efficiency for larger accounting firms. Finally, potential new tax policies in response to expiring tax laws from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will force clients to procure professional accountants. Accounting services revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.1% to an estimated $154.0 billion over the next five years.
