The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reports that many Connecticut careers requiring a degree in business can be quite lucrative. In the May 2008 Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates report for Connecticut, data shows that management occupations paid an annual average wage of $108,700 ($52.26 per hour) and business and financial operations occupations paid $73,010 ($35.10 per hour) on average at that time. When compared to the annual average of $49,530 ($23.81 per hour) paid across occupations in all industries at that time, it is clear that a degree in business can lead to a much higher than average salary.
