NEW YORK, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Asian American workers face the longest periods of joblessness and other labor challenges, despite having the lowest unemployment rate out of any racial or ethnic group in the United States, reported CNBC on Monday.

Labor market statistics suggest Asian Americans suffer from long-term joblessness more than other workers. The median duration of unemployment for Asian Americans was 21.9 weeks in 2021, the longest period of any racial or ethnic group. Asian men in particular saw a median period of joblessness of 26.1 weeks.
