EVANSTON, IL—
Connecticut’s industrial employment indicates signs of recovery after several years of consistent job losses, according to the 2007
Connecticut Manufacturers Register, a manufacturers’ guide published annually by
Manufacturers’ News, Inc. (
MNI), Evanston, IL.
MNI (http://
www.manufacturersnews.com) reports the Constitution State lost just 190 jobs (less than 1%) over the past 12 months compared to the more than 20,000 lost since 2002.
“Some of the state’s leading industries such as aircraft assembly, shipbuilding and pharmaceuticals, have been affected by consolidation and outsourcing over the past decade,” said Tom Dubin, President of
MNI. “Hopefully, these numbers signal an ease to the outflow of those jobs.”
Connecticut is now home to 6,383 manufacturing companies employing 241,811 workers, reports the Register.
MNI’s survey profiles both large and small
Connecticut manufacturers, including start-up companies with just a few employees.
MNI’s regional study shows
Connecticut ranks 2nd in New England by number of manufacturing jobs and plants. The state accounts for 24% of the region’s manufacturing plants and 23% of its jobs.
Connecticut’s largest industrial city is Bridgeport with 220 companies and 6,052 jobs, listed in the 2007 Register. Stamford accounts for 195 companies and 8,175 jobs.
Connecticut’s top industrial sectors are industrial machinery and equipment and metal fabricating, which account for 34% of
Connecticut’s manufacturers.
Connecticut’s top industries by employment are aircraft engines/parts, aircraft, and commercial printing. These industries represent 15% of
Connecticut’s manufacturing employment.
