The Connecticut hiring market

Hartford pulls insurance carriers, reinsurers and financial services firms. Stamford and the rest of Fairfield County lean toward finance, asset management and professional services. New Haven has a heavy healthcare presence. Bridgeport and surrounding towns support manufacturing, distribution and healthcare employers.

Aerospace and submarine manufacturing cluster in the central and eastern parts of the state, where Electric Boat in Groton designs and builds submarines and Pratt & Whitney and other aerospace firms hire engineers, machinists and quality specialists. Healthcare systems recruit across the state, and competition for nurses and clinicians is tight in New Haven and Hartford.

Pay and posting rules in Connecticut

Connecticut employers must give the wage range to an applicant on request, or before an offer is discussed. Check the current state and city rules before you post a role.
