Employment in Connecticut covered by Unemployment Insurance (UI) decreased by
9,030 during 2001, a decline of 0.5 percent, according to preliminary figures.
After eight consecutive years of expansion, the State's over-the-year decrease
marked the first decline in annual average employment since the period of
1991-1992. Total private industry employment, constituting 85.9 percent of the
State's employment total, decreased 2.1 percent, while government employment
grew 9.9 percent in 2001. Some of the decline in private employment and increase
in government employment is attributed to the change in the classification of
Indian tribal councils and related establishments. In the past these
establishments were assigned a private ownership code. Beginning with the first
quarter of 2001, due to a change in federal law that governs the way Indian
tribes are treated under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), federally
recognized Indian tribes and related establishments are now classified in local
government and assigned a local government ownership code.
The average annual wage of all Connecticut workers increased by 3.3 percent
to $46,990 in 2001. The annual pay of private industry workers grew 3.6 percent
in 2001 to $47,737, while pay for government sector employees was $42,447, an
increase of 2.2 percent.
The number of business establishments in the State remained virtually
unchanged in 2001. Total business establishments totaled 108,132 at the end of
2001, compared with 108,114 at the end of 2000. Total private establishments
numbered 104,447 in 2001 versus 104,441 in 2000. Government work sites equaled
3,685 for 2001 while totaling 3,673 at the end of the prior year.
Data based on NAICS
Monthly employment and quarterly wage data are compiled from reports from
employers who employ workers covered by the State's unemployment insurance
laws. This information is first and foremost used to determine displaced worker
benefit levels and employer tax rates. Beyond that purpose, the Connecticut
Department of Labor's Office of Research makes ongoing efforts to enhance the
quality of this data in order to provide the best possible information on the
State's economy for informed decisions by policymakers and planners. The
result is the largest available universe of employment and wage data by industry
and area representing approximately 98 percent of all Connecticut employment.
Employment that is not covered by unemployment insurance includes some workers
in agriculture, domestic services, railroad employees, student workers, elected
officials, employees of religious organizations, and self-employed and unpaid
family workers.
This article presents the first look at Connecticut's annual average
industry employment, wages, and establishment count based on the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) structure. NAICS categorizes business
establishments on a production-oriented approach, how products or services are
created, as opposed to the Standard Industry Classification (SIC) system which
categorized business establishments based on the end product produced or service
provided. NAICS is the result of a cooperative effort on the part of the
statistical agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. To learn more
about NAICS, access the Census Bureau web site at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.
Employment
The NAICS sector agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, recorded
the largest percentage increase in annual average private employment over the
previous year, up 3.1 percent. (See the complete table on pages 4 and 5.) The
two NAICS sectors that are the most sensitive to changes in government spending
showed the next highest percentage gains in employment during 2001. Health
care and social assistance and educational services had employment
gains of 1.9 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively. The other NAICS sectors to
show increased employment during 2001 were: Construction, 1.5 percent; other
services, except public administration, 1.5 percent; and finance and
insurance, 1.1 percent.
On the other side of the ledger, arts, entertainment, and recreation
had the largest percentage decline in employment, dropping 41.6 percent during
2001. As explained earlier, this drop is attributed to the reclassification of
Indian tribal councils and related establishments from private ownership to
local government ownership. Mining showed the next largest drop in annual
average employment, 4.9 percent, followed by administrative and waste
management, 4.3 percent, and transportation and warehousing also down
4.3 percent. The remaining NAICS sectors recorded the following declines in
annual employment: Utilities, 4.1 percent; manufacturing, 3.5
percent; information, 3.2 percent; management of companies and
enterprises, 2.9 percent; real estate and rental and leasing, 2.0
percent; accommodation and food services, 0.9 percent; retail trade,
0.8 percent; professional and technical services, 0.8 percent; wholesale
trade, 0.3 percent.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and its NAICS partner agencies have
further grouped NAICS sectors upwards to form the top level goods-producing and
service-providing aggregations referred to as "domains." The
goods-producing domain is composed of the four NAICS sectors agriculture,
forestry, fishing, and hunting; mining; construction; and manufacturing.
The service-providing domain encompasses the remaining NAICS sectors.
Aggregating 2001 annual Connecticut employment in this manner reveals that
17.9 percent of the State's employment was in the goods-producing domain,
while 82.1 percent of the total employment was in the service-providing domain.
An even closer look highlights that the goods-producing domain's annual
average employment declined 2.3 percent during 2001, which accounted for 78.8
percent of the State's drop in employment. The service-providing domain's
employment dropped by only 0.1 percent during the same period.
Wages
Average annual pay levels for Connecticut varied greatly by industry.
However, it should be taken into account that the annual pay level among
industry sectors are affected by various factors, including hours worked (full
or part-time), the composition of the workforce, and weather and seasonal
influences.
The highest average annual wage was earned in the management of companies
and enterprises (i.e., corporate headquarters) sector, $104,884. Workers in
this industry sector, which account for less than two percent of private sector
employment, earned an annual wage that was 119.7 percent higher than the State
average for private sector employees in 2001, which was $47,737. The next
highest pay level was found in the finance and insurance sector, $98,242.
Workers in this sector earned a little more than double that of all private
sector employees. Within the finance and insurance sector are found the
highest NAICS sub-sector (three-digit) level wages, $256,972 and $108,283,
respectively, for securities, commodity contracts, investments workers
(NAICS 523) and funds, trusts, and other financial vehicles employees
(NAICS 525). Ranking third highest in sector-level average annual pay were
workers in the utilities sector, at $78,096, a figure 63.6 percent higher
than the private statewide average.
On the opposite end of the scale, workers in the accommodation and food
services sector recorded the lowest pay, $15,519, 67.5 percent less than the
private sector statewide average. The next lowest pay was earned in the
agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sector, $23,922, and the arts,
entertainment, and recreation sector, $24,548.
The largest over-the-year percentage pay increase in the private sector was
recorded in the finance and insurance sector, 8.5 percent. The next
highest increases were in administrative and waste management, 6.9
percent, followed by educational services, 5.7 percent. The largest
over-the-year percentage pay decrease occurred in the management of companies
and enterprises sector, down 6.3 percent. Other industry sectors to show
deceased annual wages were retail trade, 3.6 percent; arts,
entertainment, and recreation, 2.4 percent; agriculture, forestry,
fishing and hunting, 0.4 percent; and information, 0.2
percent.
Reviewing annual average wage figures at the domain level shows that workers
in the goods-producing sectors earned $53,464 during 2001. This represented an
increase of 2.5 percent over the previous year. Goods-producing workers earned
an annual wage that was 13.8 percent higher than the average for all Connecticut
workers during 2001. Workers in the service-providing sectors earned $45,579 for
2001, an increase of 3.6 percent over the previous year, but three percent less
than the average for all Connecticut workers and 14.7 percent less than their
counterparts in the goods-producing industries.
Labor Market Areas
Among Connecticut's ten Labor Market Areas (LMAs), only New London and
Danielson showed an increase in annual average employment during 2001 due, in
part, to hiring at the Indian tribal-run casinos. The New London area's total
annual average employment for 2001 was 131,328, up 1.5 percent from the previous
year. The Danielson LMA showed an increase of 0.4 percent, to 21,969. The
largest percentage decline in employment among LMAs was found in the Stamford
and Waterbury areas. Both of these LMAs showed a 1.8 percent drop in employment
during 2001. Stamford's employment level dropped to 205,496, while the
Waterbury LMA's declined to 84,330.
Every LMA posted increased wages during 2001. As with employment, the
Danielson LMA had the greatest percentage increase in its annual average wage,
up 8.6 percent to $34,213. The Danbury and New London LMAs had the next greatest
percentage increase, both up 4.5 percent. The Danbury LMA's 2001 earnings
level was $45,231, while workers in the New London LMA earned $38,175.
The highest average annual wage earned during 2001 was in the Stamford LMA,
$80,251, a figure 70.8 percent higher than the statewide average. The lowest
average wage was earned in the Torrington LMA, $33,823. Torrington LMA workers
earned 28.0 percent less than the statewide average.

According to a just released survey, the State's initiative to promote
Connecticut as one of the nation's fastest growing technology hot spots is
producing results. Over 80 percent of nearly 200 technology industry executives,
responding to a telephone survey, indicated that their image of Connecticut as a
growing technology "hot spot" was enhanced after visiting the
"Technology...You Belong in Connecticut" exhibit at the Gartner
Symposium/ ITxpo 2002 in San Diego, California. The symposium is the
largest gathering of information technology (IT) professionals worldwide.
The symposium was the latest element of the You Belong in Connecticut
campaign, implemented on behalf of thousands of Connecticut based BioScience and
IT companies, by the Connecticut Technology Council (CTC), CURE -
Connecticut's BioScience Cluster, and the State Department of Economic and
Community Development (DECD). CTC is the "driver" of the State's
Software and Information Technology Cluster. Among the advantages touted
are Connecticut's strategic location between Boston and New York, top
rankings nationwide for number of patents issued, financial resources
available for investment, educational system, and investments in research
and development with commercial potential. The survey was conducted by Strategic
Sales and Marketing.
More information about the You Belong in Connecticut campaign is available at
www.YouBelongInCT.com.
Commissioner James F. Abromaitis of the Connecticut Department of Economic
and Community Development today announced that Connecticut communities
authorized 782 new housing units in June 2002, a 1.4 percent decrease compared
to June of 2001 when 793 units were authorized.
The Department further indicated that the 782 units permitted in June 2002
represent a 18.3 percent decrease from the 957 units permitted in May 2002. The
year-to-date permits are up 5.9 percent, from 4,529 through June 2001, to 4,796
through June 2002.
The Danbury Labor Market Area added 86 new housing units, an increase of 17
units compared to a year ago. Danbury led all Connecticut communities with 33
units, followed by Middletown with 19 and Vernon with 18 units. From a county
perspective, Windham County had the largest percentage gain (53.1 percent)
compared to a year ago.
