Labor Market Information - Connecticut Industry Sector Employment
  Industry Sectors Employment (Current Employment Statistics) - State of Connecticut Last Updated: May 16, 2013

Higher employment levels were recorded in both the private (+5,800, 0.4%) and government (+500, 0.2%) sectors.  Total private sector employment has increased 11,700 positions (0.8%) since last April 2012.

In April, industry supersector employment gains were led by construction and mining (2,000, 3.7%).  This supersector has shown two straight months of healthy job increases above 2,000 and the strong spring seasonal buildup bodes well for the construction industry going forward.  The trade, transportation, and utilities supersector (1,500, 0.5%) bounced back from a large loss last month that may have been related to the early Easter occurring in March this year.  The education and health services (1,400, 0.4%) supersector continued consistent job gains last month.  The leisure and hospitality (900, 0.6%) supersector posted its seventh straight monthly gain in a row going back to October.  Restaurants and accommodations are heading the growth in this supersector and are very strong over the year (6,800, 5.8%).  The government supersector contributed 500 positions (0.2%) to overall job gains last month and the increase was entirely attributable local government employment (1,200, 0.8%) as state government declined (-700, -1.0%) and the federal government was unchanged.  A financial activities supersector gain (400, 0.3%) in April came as U.S. financial markets reached all-time high levels.  And the professional and business services (200, 0.1%) supersector recorded a slight job gain driven by large offsetting moves within the supersector.  Professional, scientific, and technical services employment fell  (-2,000, -2.3%), offset by an increase in administrative and support services (2,100, 2.5%, temporary employment measured here). Management of companies and enterprises (100, 0.3%) was slightly positive as well.

The two declining supersectors in April only were only off slightly led  by other services (-500,  -0.8%).  The information supersector was only marginally lower (-100, -0.3%).  The manufacturing supersector was unchanged in April.

Since April 2012, five of Connecticut’s ten major industry supersectors have increased jobs while four industry supersectors have declined.  The other services supersector was unchanged over the year. 

The construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establishments primarily engaged in the preparation of sites for new construction and establishments primarily engaged in subdividing land for sale as building sites also are included in this sector. Construction work done may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. Activities of these establishments generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but they usually perform construction activities at multiple project sites.

Educational and health services supersector  is made up of two parts: the educational services sector (sector 61), and the health care and social assistance sector (sector 62).

Leisure and hospitality sector is made up of two parts: the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector (sector 71), and the accommodation and food services sector (sector 72).

The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector includes a wide range of establishments that operate facilities or provide services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons. This sector comprises (1) establishments that are involved in producing, promoting, or participating in live performances, events, or exhibits intended for public viewing; (2) establishments that preserve and exhibit objects and sites of historical, cultural, or educational interest; and (3) establishments that operate facilities or provide services that enable patrons to participate in recreational activities or pursue amusement, hobby, and leisure-time interests.

The accommodation and food services sector comprises establishments providing customers with lodging and/or preparing meals, snacks, and beverages for immediate consumption. The sector includes both accommodation and food services establishments because the two activities are often combined at the same establishment.
