Working in Connecticut

Connecticut is the state with the third-highest per capita income, but it’s also ranked third in the country for income inequality. However, nursing professionals tend to be paid higher average annual salaries in Connecticut than in the majority of other states.

Educational services, healthcare, and social assistance are the leading employment sectors (28%), but the most well-known industry in the state may be insurance. The country’s highest concentration of insurance jobs is in Connecticut, and for hundreds of years, CT’s capital, Hartford, has been known as the insurance capital of the world. The following insurers are some of the sector’s major employers — and they have jobs for nurses:

In addition to the employment opportunities at the CT Department of Public Health, there are many major hospitals and medical systems in Connecticut. You can find acute care jobs in companies such as:

Bristol Hospital (Bristol)
Hartford Healthcare (Hartford)
Manchester Memorial Hospital, part of Eastern Connecticut Health Network
Yale New Haven Health (New Haven)
St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, part of Trinity Health (Hartford)

Additionally, there are numerous programs and services offered by the Department of Aging and Disability Services that rely on trained healthcare professionals, including caregiver support, senior nutrition, respite care, benefits counseling, and more. You can also explore this comprehensive list of skilled nursing facilities provided by the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities.

Although the state is densely populated, your average one-way commute time is aligned with the national average of 27 minutes. Nearly 70% of residents drive to work alone, 8% carpool, 4% take mass transit, and 14% work from home.

Need help raising a family while you’re working? Connecticut has an easy-to-use website that provides childcare resources. If you need someone to look after your pets, you can rely on pet sitters in CT to lend a hand.

Living in Connecticut

Life in Connecticut offers a balance of country and city amenities. It’s known for having a great quality of life that comes with a lower price tag than that of nearby states’ metro areas, but it’s still pricier overall than many other areas of the country.

Thanks to the more than two dozen colleges and universities in Connecticut, there’s many bustling downtown districts with bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, and other lively hang-out spots.

CT provides a plethora of ways to enjoy nature throughout all four seasons, with more than 100 state parks, 30 state forests, and a beautiful shoreline. From the beaches along the central coast to the thousands of miles of diverse hiking trails to the serene vineyards and farm wineries, there’s a setting to match your every whim.

When it comes to culture, Connecticut has a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. Some of the more prominent institutions include the Yale University Art Gallery — the Western Hemisphere’s oldest university art museum — and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. For the performing arts, you’ll find the majority of venues in Hartford, but there are other prominent theaters in Norfolk, Ridgefield, Wallingford, and beyond.

The annual weather in CT is mostly in line with the seasons. The start of spring can include some frost or remnants of snow, but eventually reaches average highs of 60 degrees. Summer is warm and mostly sunny, with temperatures averaging a high of 83 degrees. Fall brings glorious, colorful foliage and cooler days and nights, and you can expect snowy, cold winters where the thermometer dips down to around 37 degrees.

Connecticut is among the top 10 states with the highest overall cost of living. Residents have high housing and healthcare costs, but the average annual wage is higher in CT than in many other states.
