Connecticut’s economy added 4,600 jobs in November, setting a new high-water mark for the state’s post-recession jobs recovery, state labor authorities say.
As a result, the state’s non-farm labor count rose to 1,687,100 jobs last month – 25,700 more than November 2013, the state Department of Labor said Thursday.
However, the percentage of able-bodied, willing Connecticut workers without jobs crept up to a seasonally adjusted 6.5 percent, the agency said. The state’s October jobless rate was 6.4 percent. A year ago, it was 7.5 percent.
