4. Connecticut

Resignation Rate: 1.73%

Despite economic fluctuations, the state added over 20,000 jobs in 2023, with unemployment reaching a near-record low of 3.5%. This strong job growth is attributed to thriving health-related industries and a resurgence in factory work, fueled in part by federal defense contracts. While concerns exist about potential job losses due to Federal Reserve tightening, Connecticut’s ongoing momentum suggests continued growth, with expectations to add around 10,000 jobs in 2024.
