• Connecticut Employment by Labor-Market Area


Two of the six major Connecticut Labor Market Areas had job gains in August 2012 and four LMAs declined:

Danbury (+1,200, 1.8%) and Waterbury (700, 1.1%) had favorable job growth in August but could not offset declines from the larger Connecticut metros.

Coastal Connecticut LMAs were all lower this month, led down by both Norwich-New London (-1,900, -1.5%) and New Haven (-1,900, -0.7%). Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk (-400, -0.1%) experienced a slight job loss as well.

Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford (-1,400, -0.3%) was lower as well with education on summer vacation influencing local government.”
