Connecticut makes job gains in March, adjusts losses in February

HARTFORD, Conn. – After a loss of jobs in February, Connecticut gained an estimated 4,000 jobs in March, according to a Monday report by the state Labor Department.

The report also adjusted February’s job losses downward from 3,900 to 2,900. The unemployment rate in March remained at 6.4 percent, the same as it was in February.

“As we entered spring, job growth at this point in the recovery seems to be coming from a broader base of the state’s industries,” Andy Condon, Director of the Office of Research, said. “Eight of ten major industry supersectors added jobs in March and over the year. We continue to see increased labor force participation as the economy improves.”
