WILMINGTON —Delaware’s unemployment rate edged down again in September, the sixth straight monthly decline, as the state’s labor force continued to shrink. The state’s unemployment rate is now 4.6%, down from 4.7% in August. It has been on a downward trend since April 2026. Delaware lost 800 jobs between August and September. Even so, employers have added a net 2,100 jobs since September 2025, or less than 1% growth, according to a report released by the Delaware Department of Labor. Over the last six months, Delaware’s unemployment rate has improved, but the labor force has shrunk too. When people stop looking for work, they are no longer counted as unemployed, which can lower the rate.
