Economists at the University of Connecticut report the state has been in a recession for at least a year.
The Connecticut Center of Economic Analysis says the state and residents have done a good job coping with the recession.
Analysts project the state will lose 40,000 jobs in teh next two years.
The report says relatively small job loss and adjustments have prevented a major impact for Connecticut consumers.
