State of Connecticut - Connecticut Labor Force / Residents Employed / Residents Unemployed
  Labor Force / Residents Employed / Residents Unemployed - State of Connecticut Last Updated: January 26th, 2026
Connecticut's unemployment rate rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 4.2% while the state's nonfarm industry employment declined 500 jobs (-0.03%) in December 2025, to a level of 1,713,900 (preliminary, seasonally adjusted data). The statewide jobless rate is now up a full percentage point since December 2024 (3.2%), while nonfarm payroll employment in the state is down 2,200 (-0.1%) positions from a year ago. The Connecticut November 2025 nonfarm job number held the 2,100 estimated gain (0.1%) on the normal monthly revision. Connecticut does remains below the U.S. unemployment rate (currently 4.4% for December 2025) for the 36th month in a row. December 2025 average temperatures were said to be below normal for many parts of the country. This labor statistics release presents current estimated data from two different monthly surveys (businesses and households) produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in association with the states. The January 2026 data release will be with newly benchmarked data (date still to be determined).

For additional insight into the Connecticut labor market during the COVID-19 pandemic please see the analysis linked here: https://www1.ctdol.state.ct.us/lmi/claimsdata.asp. Please note that there are conceptual, coverage, and scope differences between the two data sources.

NOTE: Data prior to 2025 has been revised to the new benchmark. This page has not been fully updated. Please contact dol.lmi@ct.gov for the correct historical data.

NOTE:  The preliminary estimates of nonfarm employment for December, and the revisions to the estimates for November, reflect changes made in estimation procedures. The changes include the introduction of new top-level sample-based figures into the development of the estimates. In addition, new procedures have been implemented that discount historical month-to-month employment movements and reduce the number of sample responses treated as non-representative. These new procedures are designed to bring the aggregate employment change for all states into closer alignment with the change in national employment reflected in the estimates produced and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As a result of the changes made, at this point in time the November and December 2008 estimates are not totally comparable to previous months' data. This will be resolved with the release of revised (benchmarked) numbers for 2007 and 2008 that will be published in March.
NOTE:  Labor force estimates are a measure of the work status of people who live in Connecticut. Prepared under the direction of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the statewide estimates are the product of a signal-plus noise model, which uses results from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of Connecticut households, counts of claimants for unemployment benefits, and establishment employment estimates. Beginning with the publication of January 2005 data, an improved methodology is being used to develop labor force estimates, by which monthly state model-based employment and unemployment estimates are controlled to add to the national CPS levels. This will ensure that national economic events are reflected in the state estimates, and it will significantly reduce end-of-year revisions. (For more information, please see the Connecticut Economic Digest, December 2004 issue.) Labor force data, reflecting persons employed by place of residence, are not directly comparable to the place-of-work industry employment series. In the labor force estimates, workers involved in labor disputes are counted as employed. The labor force data also includes agricultural workers, unpaid family workers, domestics and the self-employed. Because of these conceptual differences, total labor force employment is almost always different from nonfarm wage and salary employment.

Based on the Local Area Unemployment Statistics model (LAUS - a statistical model using the CPS - Current Population Survey residential data), the number of Connecticut unemployed residents, seasonally adjusted, was unchanged from December at 72,300. Over the year, the number of the state's jobless residents declined by 300 (-0.4%). The state's labor force was up for the sixth month in a row, an estimated 3,100 over the month at 1,929,400, and the state's labor force up over the year by 22,600. Though Connecticut's working-age population growth remains very slow, extremely low unemployment rates appear to be attracting potential workers back into the labor force.
