From the Washington Post -

BLS said the unemployment rate in June declined to 11.1 percent. Last month, it said the unemployment rate was 13.3 percent, but a major misclassification error clouded the report’s accuracy.

The BLS report estimated the May unemployment rate was "about 3 percentage points" higher than the 13.3% reported, due to the misclassification error.

Back to today's report - in the Covid-19 section of the OP, it says

If the workers who were recorded as employed but absent from work due to "other reasons" (over and above the number absent for other reasons in a typical June) had been classified as unemployed on temporary layoff, the overall unemployment rate would have been about 1 percentage point higher than reported (on a not seasonally adjusted basis). However, this represents the upper bound of our estimate of misclassification and probably overstates the size of the misclassification error.

According to usual practice, the data from the household survey are accepted as recorded. To maintain data integrity, no ad hoc actions are taken to reclassify survey responses.

So, from the above, the official 11.1% is low side, while 12.1% is high side.
