Following Connecticut’s Unemployment Insurance Claimants Through the Recession (pdf, 115K)
The recession of the late 2000’s is the worst to hit the United States since the depression of the 1930’s. Nineteen months after the official completion of Connecticut’s recession, the unemployment rate is still stubbornly stuck around 9%. Based on data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), it is estimated about 119,000 jobs were lost in Connecticut through December 2009. Connecticut gained 24,300 jobs from January 2010, the end of Connecticut’s recession, to January 2011. However, from January 2011 to July 2011, only about 8,500 have been created. At the current level of job growth, it will take many years to employ those laid off by the recession. |
