Edward Deak Job Quotations

Those jobs look fairly good going into 2006. We won't see a lot of hiring there, but the economy looks strong enough to maintain level of employment we have.

We seem to be faced with a series of major job cuts that are overwhelming some of the good employment stories that are taking place.

We did a (New England Economic Partnership) forecast in October, and we had 16,000 jobs added in 2006. Those are still reasonable (projections) given conditions at national level.

It's just another source of concern as to the strength of the Connecticut economy. The state has been slow to recover the jobs that were lost during the downturn.
