June 2017 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release
July 21, 2017
"Although Vermont continues to have a near historic low unemployment rate, at 3.2% this equates to nearly 11,000 Vermonters who are currently unemployed.  If we combine this pool of unemployed with the number of Vermonters who report wanting work or wanting more hours, it totals over 20,000 Vermonters looking to improve their economic situation.  I encourage employers who are looking for workers to contact their local Career Resource Center to help with recruiting and hiring needs.  Likewise, individual Vermonters interested in improving their economic situation should contact their local office to learn about available jobs in their area, training opportunities and other employment related services.  It is the priority of the Department to serve employers and employees with equal energy and our staff at our Career Resource Centers are equipped and ready to help."

Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor
