This past March has been one of the warmest on record all across the United States. Not only are students and children enjoying it but so are the construction workers.
Because the temperature is so warm, employees in the construction field are able to start earlier. This has caused unemployment to shrink earlier than it usually would for these seasonal jobs.
In fact, this entire winter we have received very mild weather making temperatures warmer than usual at the very starting of this year. January brought an increase of about 7,000 jobs, and the Connecticut Department of Labor announced on March 29 that approximately 5,500 additional private sector jobs were added in the month of February. In New Haven, unemployment fell from 12.5 percent in January to 11.7 percent in February. Seven months in a row now the economy has been obviously growing and unemployment shrinking.
Because of this weather, private construction jobs are more likely to occur rather than jobs on the highway which will take place later this year. But for now, businesses, universities, and hospitals can receive construction earlier than last year.
