According to a new scorecard from the state Department of Labor, New Haven’s economy is doing better than that of any other Connecticut city.

The city economy has improved almost 40 percent since 2010, when the recovery from the Great Recession began locally.

Across the board, the Connecticut Town Economic Indexes show the state’s cities are growing. The statewide average for a municipality is 33.3 percent growth in its score on the index since 2010, with Hartford coming in at 33.2 percent growth, Stamford at 32.7 percent, Waterbury at 30.6 percent and Bridgeport at 30 percent.

A municipality’s score is made up of four pieces, weighted equally: the total number of businesses, total employment, inflation-adjusted annual average wages and the unemployment rate.

Statewide, North Stongington has the healthiest economy with 61 percent growth in its score since 2010, with Hampton coming in second place at 53.8 percent growth since 2010.
