Westport’s unemployment rate in April was 6.1 percent, down from 6.2 percent in March and the lowest so far in 2011, the Connecticut Department of Labor said today.
The slight improvement was better than Greenwich’s 6.6 rate, but not as good as New Canaan’s 5.9, Wilton’s 5.7, and 5.6 in Darien and Weston.
The department said the number of Westport unemployed in April was 773, down from 798 in March.
The April labor force in Westport numbered 12,737, down from 12,787 in March, with 11,964 employed, down from 11,991 in March, it said.
