Current month's data are preliminary. Prior months' data have been revised. All data are benchmarked to March 2008.
More industry detail data is available for the State and its labor market areas at: http://www1.ctdol.state.ct.us/lmi/202_minorareas_lma.asp.The data published there differ from the data in the preceding tables, in that they are collected from a near-universe count of Connecticut employers covered by unemployment insurance (UI) programs, while the data here is sample-based.The Web site data does not contain estimates of employment not covered by UI programs, and is lagged several months behind the current employment estimates presented here.
