| Unemployment Rate / Residents Unemployed - State of Connecticut
Last Updated: January 23, 2012 |
| 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. | ||
