Was that a net 700 gain on the state employees, and what sector were they hired in. I’d be curious if you are noting a seasonal fluctuation or an overall trend.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not give a breakdown, by sector in the government. I am not sure how to get those numbers.
The “not seasonally adjusted” number was 300 lowered.
The 700 number was the “seasonally adjusted” number.
The numbers do vary on the order of ~200 a month and as with any large organization that does make sense.
For the graphs I looked at the January figures for each year.
The graphs show a definite trend to higher employment in the government sector for Connecticut. All those tax dollars have to go somewhere.
