Comal County unemployment rate edged down to 4.3% in August

The rate fell for a second month, giving residents a countywide labor-market measure; August’s figure is preliminary and has not been adjusted for seasonal patterns.

Comal County’s unemployment rate was 4.3% in August 2026, down from 4.4% in July and 4.5% in June. The three monthly readings in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ county series show a modest two-month decline.

For Comal County residents, the August figure offers a countywide measure of unemployment, but it does not describe any one person’s job prospects. The change from July to August was 0.1 percentage point; the change from June to August was 0.2 percentage point.
