It has never quite recovered from 9/11. I lived in New Milford and people would go to work in NYC from way up there. After 9/11 many businesses that employed people from CT never reopened. The crash of 2008 really dealt it another blow. Property taxes are quite high and buying or renting is pricey. It is a beautiful state that has hit some hard times. I'd move back in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
