Connecticut’s seasonally adjusted civilian labor force was estimated at 1,847,700 for April 2013, down 36,900 over the year (-2.0%), and down by 4,900 (-0.3%) just from last month. |

| NOTE: The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. The unemployed are all persons who did not work, but were available for work during the survey week (except for temporary illness) and made specific efforts to find a job in the prior week. Persons waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not be looking for work to be classified. |
