(INDIANPOLIS) – Indiana's unemployment rate remains unchanged from March to April.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development says the State's unemployment rate remains at 3.9 percent. That's well below the April 2020 unemployment figure of 16.9 percent.

Indiana's labor force had a net increase of 145 over the previous month. This was a result of an increase of 955 unemployed residents and a decrease of 810 employed residents.

Indiana's total labor force, which includes Hoosiers employed and those seeking employment, stands at 3.34 million. The State's 63.1 percent labor force participation rate remains above the national rate of 61.7 percent.

The monthly unemployment rate is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people seeking employment within the prior four weeks as a percentage of the labor force.
