• Connecticut: Job Growth May Lag Until Second Half of 2013 -- Or Later If Fiscal Cliff Isn't Averted

---

“Connecticut was able to slow its loss of jobs -- if not reverse the trend -- in the third quarter of 2012, and might have to wait until the second half of 2013 to see significant growth, the University of Connecticut's quarterly economic journal reported Wednesday. ”But the winter issue of The Connecticut Economy also warned that even this dour forecast might be scrapped for something worse -- including as many as 20,000 job losses -- if the Nutmeg State tumbles, along with the rest of the nation, over the fiscal cliff Jan. 1.” Source: CTMirror.org
