| State of Connecticut vs. United States Unemployment Rate - State of Connecticut | Last Updated: October 22, 2024 |
|
The preliminary September 2024 unemployment rate
for Connecticut was estimated by the BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics program (LAUS) to be 3.2% (seasonally adjusted). This 0.2% monthly decline is considered statistically significant for the fourth month in
a row. The unemployment rate is down eight-tenths of one percent compared to the September 2023 level of 4.0%. The state jobless rate has declined 1.1% since May 2024. The U.S. unemployment rate for September 2024
was 4.1%, lower by one-tenth of a percentage point from the August 2024 rate of 4.2% but is higher over the year from 3.8% in September 2023. The CT jobless rate is nine-tenths of a percentage point lower than the U.S. unemployment rate.
