Last week, the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics released April unemployment data for the State and municipalities.  Wilton First Selectman Lynne Vanderslice says the published unemployment rates, of 7.9 percent for Connecticut and 5.2 percent for Wilton do not represent true unemployment.  She says that's because unemployed individuals not actively seeking employment were removed from the report.  In 2019, Wilton’s labor force averaged 8,400 with 8,200 employed.  The April numbers were a labor force of 7,400, with 7,000 employed.  About a thousand unemployed residents were dropped from the report.  If they had been included, Wilton’s April unemployment rate is 16.7-percent.
