| State of Connecticut vs. United States Unemployment Rate - State of Connecticut | Last Updated: September 18, 2023 |
| The preliminary August 2023 unemployment rate for Connecticut was estimated by the BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics program (LAUS) to be 3.6% (seasonally adjusted). This is holding unchanged over-the-month at the post COVID lockdown low and is down three-tenths of one percent compared to the August 2022 level of 3.9%. This is the first time since May 2020 that Connecticut's unemployment rate has been below the U.S. jobless rate. They were both 3.7% in May 2023. The U.S. unemployment rate for August 2023 was calculated at 3.8%, up three-tenths of a percentage point from the July 2023 rate (3.5%) and is now higher than the U.S. jobless rate of 3.7% a year ago. The number unemployed declined to 67,300, the lowest since May 2019 which was the lowest since February 2002.
