Connecticut's Private Sector employment expanded by 2,900 jobs (0.2%) in May 2022 to 1,426,000 and is higher by 42,200 positions (3.0%) from the May 2021 level. The state's Private Sector is 86.3% recovered from the April 2020 COVID employment trough. The Government supersector was lower again last month by 1,300 jobs ( 0.6%) to a level of 222,500. This is unchanged from the May 2021 levels. The state Government portion has been lower six months in a row - influenced by on-going retirements. The public sector is only 39.8% recovered from the COVID lockdown. The Government supersector in Connecticut covers all federal, state, local, and tribal employment, including public education and Native American casino employment located on reservations.
