Connecticut's Workforce Employment Dynamics Connecticut's Workforce Employment Dynamics
The Workforce Employment Dynamics program is an innovative program initiated by the Office of Research. Its purpose is to provide information on the characteristics of Connecticut’s jobholders, including detailed breakdowns by age, gender, industry, geographic region and wages earned. WED data will be useful for any initiative that relies on an understanding of the labor market, but can be especially valuable for workforce development policy formulation and planning. For example, WED data show the age of the workforce in each of the state’s industries, identifying those with the greatest numbers of workers approaching retirement and, therefore, the greatest worker replacement needs. These data also identify gender differences in wages earned, progression in wages earned by age, and regional variations in workforce composition.
