• Connecticut's Labor Market Areas - September 2012


Two of the six major Connecticut Labor Market Areas (LMAs) had job increases in September 2012 and four LMAs had employment declines.

Norwich-New London (1,000, 0.8%) and Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford (700, 0.1%) experienced over-the-month job increases. Job gains were especially needed in the southeast as Norwich-New London is still the only major LMA to be down over the year in employment (-2,000, -1.6%).

Danbury (-700, -1.0%) led declining LMAs, followed by Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk (-400, -0.1%), New Haven (-200, -0.1%), and Waterbury (-100, -0.2%). Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk (5,200, 1.3%) has led the major LMAs in job growth (in magnitude) since September 2011.
