Comal County’s preliminary, not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 4.0% in September 2026 from 4.3% in August. That is a decline of 0.3 percentage points in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ county series.
For Comal County workers and employers, the new figure describes a lower unemployment rate than the prior month, but it does not count jobs gained or explain the change. The rate measures unemployment; the table alone does not establish why it moved.
