Laredo's unemployment rate now sits at 8.6 percent through November, according to Texas Workforce Commission data released last Friday.
It marked a one-tenth of a percent decrease from October's 8.7 percent not seasonally adjusted rate.
Among U.S.-Mexico border regions, the Laredo Metropolitan Statistical Area remains at the lower end of the scale.
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission are at 11.2 percent unemployment through November, which is the same percentage it was in October. Brownsville-Harlingen followed that similar pattern as it carried over a 10.5 percent unemployment rate into November from October.
El Paso showed the sharpest improvement, slipping to 9.2 percent in November from October's 9.5 percent.
