WHERE WORK SITES IN DANBURY, CT DRAW THEIR EMPLOYEES FROM:
From Within Danbury Itself: As in nine of the ten other municipalities in the Region, the extent to which employers in Danbury rely upon the working residents of Danbury to serve as their labor pool has been steadily falling between 1970 and 2000. The statistical chances of a Danbury resident filling any particular job opening in Danbury were 63% in 1970, 51% in 1980, 44% in 1990 and 40% in 2000.

Workers Into Danbury From Nearby Municipalities: In 2000 the major geographic sources of labor to fill jobs in Danbury were as follows: from Danbury itself (18,560 or 41%), from New York State (4,056 or 9%), New Milford (3,121), Bethel (2,557), Brookfield (2,060), New Fairfield (1,714), Newtown (1,606), Bridgeport (998), Stamford (952) and and Norwalk (840). Workers from just these ten locations filled 79% of all jobs in Danbury in 2000.
