In addition, 6,500 jobs were created by state employers in October and the number of jobs in the state overall has grown by 8,800 in 2011, according to preliminary figures.

The state's unemployment rate decreased to 8.9 percent in September, marking the first time that the rate has fallen below 9 percent in two years. According to the CT Post, October marks the second straight month of decline in the state's unemployment rate.
