Employment at Connecticut businesses with fewer than 20 workers dipped by one tenth of a percentage point in February, according to payroll services provider Intuit.
That put the Nutmeg State on par with Massachusetts. For the country, Intuit’s employment index was flat between January and February, while average monthly compensation rose $15 and average monthly hours worked rose 30 minutes.
Intuit uses its payroll service data and federal data to create the index. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its own measure, but it lags by seven months, according to Intuit.
