Following a tour of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Senator Chris Dodd (D- CT) unveiled his new, comprehensive jobs agenda that will allow businesses to expand and add jobs, access credit, and put Connecticuts unemployed workers back to work.

While our national economy shows promising signs of turning around, times are still tough for workers and small businesses in Connecticut. Record-high unemployment, state and local budgets stretched to the breaking point, and a lack of available credit for businesses have all put a squeeze on families across the state, said Dodd.

Connecticut needs new jobs now—which means helping businesses expand and add critical jobs that will help put our state back to work. By investing in innovative new technologies, providing resources that allow our small businesses to grow, and making common-sense investments in our communities, my jobs agenda will move Connecticut in the right direction in the coming weeks and months.
