Despite the image of Silicon Valley and the Route 128 corridor, Connecticut's computer-services industry in the 1990s has outpaced that of Massachusetts, California and every other state with an established computer industry save one: Washington state, home to giant Microsoft. Comparing state Department of Labor figures with statistics supplied by other states for the computer-services industry (SIC code 737), the Connecticut Policy & Economic Council (CPEC) found that Connecticut was an industry leader based on an employment growth rate for the decade of 82 percent, outpaced only by Washington's 130 percent (see chart). Actual computer-service jobs in the state have risen from 10,791 in 1990 to 19,649 at the end of 1996.
