Guadalupe County's unemployment rate was 4.4% in August 2026, down from 4.5% in July. The one-tenth-of-a-percentage-point drop follows a June reading of 4.6%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Guadalupe County series.
For Guadalupe County residents tracking local jobs, the new reading shows a one-tenth-of-a-percentage-point decline from July, though the August figure is preliminary.
