• Connecticut’s Labor Market Areas – November 2012

---

“ Three of the six major Connecticut Labor Market Areas (LMAs) experienced job growth in November 2012, and three LMAs exhibited employment declines. The Norwich-New London LMA (500, 0.4%) led all LMAs in job gains in November, followed by Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford (400, 0.1%) and Waterbury (200, 0.3%). Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk (-1,800, -0.5%) was the largest regional job decliner this month likely driven by storm-related issues. New Haven (-1,500, -0.6%) and Danbury (-300, -0.4%) also shed employment. The Connecticut coast and regions closest to New York seemed to be the most adversely affected, in terms of job loss this month. Source: CTDOL http://www1.ctdol.state.ct.us
