May 2018 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release
June 15, 2018
"The trend of a rising Vermont labor force highlighted last month, continues in the newly released May data.  For the fifth month in a row, Vermont households report increasing labor force participation rates.  The combination of near record low levels of unemployment and active recruitment by Vermont companies appears to be motivating individuals across the state to re-enter the labor market.  The Department has a federal charge to work with individuals and businesses with equal intensity.  Accordingly, staff in the Department's Career Resource Centers are ready to assist not only job seekers and students but also businesses looking to hire or develop a training program.  Contact any one of the Department's 12 Career Resource Centers to learn more about how we can work together."
Lindsay Kurrle
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor
