Jobs For Connecticut Now

Jobs for New England Now co-chair Stephen Bull had an op-ed published in yesterday’s New Haven Register. “‘Any place Outside of Connecticut’ says it all” responds to recent news that UTC, an employer of more than 26,000 Connecticut residents, may seek its operations out of the state to a more friendly business environment.

It’s difficult to boost the economy, create jobs and increase overall resident morale when one of the state’s largest private employers is advising investment analysts and their clients to run far, far away from Connecticut and its ever-increasing cost of doing business.  Although many in the area may suffer from unemployment or cut wages, Bull encourages company owners and policymakers alike to come together to tackle the problems and create solutions that are beneficial to all.

According to Bull, “It won’t stop until all voters demand that legislators and public officials ask why Connecticut isn’t a good place to create and retain jobs and, more importantly, do something to reverse that.” Now is the time for our state’s residents to be asking policymakers what they have done to make Connecticut a better place for business.
