Connecticut's most comprehensive job site
for opportunities across the state.

State officials are hoping that staycations - which are garnering a lot of support throughout the country - will help save and create hospitality jobs in CT.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell recently announced that the State of Connecticut has launched the “Connecticut - Your Staycation Destination,” program. The campaign offers discounts and special deals for state residents at a variety of attractions, hotels and restaurants throughout the state. Not only will the campaign be beneficial to Connecticut residents, but it also will help support several jobs.

“With gas prices climbing again and the economy still ailing, families will find, as they did last year, that staying close to home can stretch their travel budget and while treating them to the world-class attractions we have in our own back yard,” Rell said. “Staycation also is a great boost for our $9 billion tourism industry and the thousands of jobs it supports around the state.”
