Current month's
data are preliminary. Prior months' data have been revised. All data are
benchmarked to March 2024.
More industry detail data is available for the State and its
labor market areas at:
https://www1.ctdol.state.ct.us/lmi/202/202_minorareas_wia.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.
