Connecticut has recovered 30,200, or 25.7%, of the 117,500 total nonfarm jobs lost in the March 2008 - February 2010 recessionary downturn. The private sector has regained 41,300 (37.5%) of the 110,200 private jobs lost in that same recessionary period. Government (-11,100), financial activities (-4,200), construction and mining (-1,200), and manufacturing (-800), have yet to regain jobs (net) even after the recovery began in February 2010. The current job recovery high point in Connecticut (1,634,900) was reached in February 2012 during the record warm winter eight months ago. Connecticut total nonfarm employment is now at 1,624,900.
