Unemployment rate drops in Pitkin County to 3.2%
Pitkin County’s unemployment rate in April was 3.2%, a decrease from 5.3% in the same month last year, according to the data provided last week by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Eagle County’s jobless rate of 2.4% and Garfield County’s rate of 2.8% also mark a year-over-year decline from 6.6% and 5.4% respectively, the state labor department statistics show.
The statewide jobless rate last month mirrored the national rate at 3.6%, a figure that is seasonally adjusted. The county rates are not seasonally adjusted, the state labor department said.
“County-level unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted and are directly comparable to Colorado’s April unadjusted rate of 3.1%,” a CDLE news release states.
Pitkin County had an April labor force of 10,681, of which 10,338 were employed, the latest statistics show. For several months following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pitkin County had double-digit unemployment and one of the highest jobless rates in the state.
The Colorado counties with the highest unemployment rates in April were: Huerfano (6.1%), Pueblo (5.1%), Fremont (4.8%), Las Animas (4.7%) and Rio Grande (4.5%).
Colorado’s labor force grew by 13,600 in April, to 3,225,600. The share of Coloradans participating in the labor force improved to 69.1% last month, the highest rate since March 2020, the release says.
“The state continues to experience a much faster rate of recovery in the participation rate than the U.S.,” the release adds.
