NOTE: Seasonally adjusted data is not available for the Kansas City metro, so for comparison purposes, we compare non seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for Missouri, Kansas and the nation. We include the seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate since it is the most often cited national figure.
