We didn't start this year exactly on the greatest of notes. It's kind of hard to think of job growth in Connecticut being appreciably better than last year.
We (Connecticut residents) are still better off than the average person in the United States. Our cost of living is higher here but our incomes our even higher.
The softness in Massachusetts - and particularly in the Boston area - has a lot to do with the anemic job picture.
It's difficult to recruit math teachers because their value is so high outside of education.
This is more expensive than most of the rest of the state.
