Latest Unemployment Press Release
May 17, 2013 |

| "The Vermont unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since late 2007, and it has been a slower than normal recovery due to the depth and length of the national recession. We are still very pleased to have the third lowest unemployment rate in the country. Of course, we recognize that Vermont is not immune from future economic downturns, and for this reason, we are continuing our work to promote a skilled and job ready workforce to fill the many job openings posted by Vermont employers. We want to reach all Vermonters who are unemployed or under-employed, as well as new graduates and those who want to make Vermont their home, to help them connect with Vermont employers. The Department of Labor's 12 regional Career Resource Centers can provide information about which companies are hiring, as well as what job skills will be in demand in the future. Vermont must build a workforce resilient to economic contractions; and education and job training for all workers are keys to this goal." |
Annie M. Noonan
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor |
