Chart: April 1 Miami-Dade Unemployment Level Displays COVID-19 Effect

Miami-Dade County, Florida Unemployment Levels January 1, 1990 to April 1, 2020

The effects of coronavirus are clearly evident in the April unemployment rate spike in Miami-Dade as of April 1, 2020. At 11.95, the level of unemployment has yet to reach the 12.4% level reached in August 2009. Given the effects of coronavirus on commerce, however, the May 1 numbers, once released, will surely exceed that 2009 number.
