Chattanooga has a 3.3% unemployment rate. By comparison Berlin, Germany has 9.1%. It's definitely an super hot labor market right now.

I'd wager the unemployment rate among transwomen in Chattanooga is higher.

I think in the U.S. in general trans people have double the unemployment rates of cis people. I imagine that's higher in Chattanooga, and higher again for transwomen, but I couldn't find any studies here so let's just agree that 3.3% likely is not indicative of the unemployment rates of specific marginalized groups.

Are the numbers actually comparable? The US does not calculate unemployment in a straightforward or honest fashion.
