An annual analysis of Connecticut’s jobs data shows the state dropped its unemployment rate to 5.1% at the end of 2021 before omicron-related job losses pushed that figure up to 5.3% in January. Both figures are below the 5.8% mark researchers had previously calculated for December 2021, indicating Connecticut’s comeback from the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020, though gradual, may be stronger than once thought.

Casinos, schools, manufacturers and construction companies hired more than 2,000 workers in January, the state Department of Labor reported Friday.
