Current Employment Statistics (CES) - State of Connecticut

Last Updated: January 26th, 2026

The Current Employment Statistics (CES)  program provides the most current estimates of nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings data by industry (place of work) for the nation as a whole, all states, and most major metropolitan areas. The CES survey is a federal-state cooperative endeavor in which states develop state and sub-state data using concepts, definitions, and technical procedures prescribed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Estimates produced by the CES program include both full- and part-time jobs. Excluded are self-employment, as well as agricultural and domestic positions. In Connecticut, more than 1,700 employers with more than 6,500 establishments are surveyed each month to estimate the number of the jobs in the State.
