May 21, 2021 | 1:39 PM Tallahassee, FL – Florida’s unemployment rate inched up to 4.8 percent in April as the state reported people slowly returning to the labor force after more than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The state Department of Economic Opportunity on Friday said the April rate was up from 4.7 percent in March. An estimated 487,000 Floridians were reported as jobless out of a workforce of 10.24 million. The number of people employed increased by 59,000 from March to April, while the workforce grew by 73,000 in the same time. Adrienne Johnston, the department’s chief economist, called the workforce increase “a positive sign.” “You want to see the labor force increasing. That may result in either a steady or a slight increase in the unemployment rate. That’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Johnston told reporters Friday.  Still, the return of workers to the leisure and hospitality sectors continues to be at a slower pace
