This report, released for the fourth straight year on Labor Day in partnership with the Economic Policy Institute of Washington DC, summarizes key data about trends in the number and types of jobs, wages, hours worked, unemployment, unionization rates, educational attainment, and income. The key finding: that Connecticut is mired in a “job-losing recovery,’ having lost almost 36,000 jobs since the end of the 2001 recession. (36pp.)

We envision a Connecticut that creates opportunity for everyone, not just the lucky and privileged few. Together, we can ensure a prosperous future for all of our children.
