Latest Unemployment Press Release
January 22, 2010 |
|
| "All our labor market indicators were down in December, resulting in a fairly large increase in Vermont's unemployment rate. For example, there were a number of previously announced layoff events that took affect in late November and early December. December typically has the highest number of payroll jobs of any month. While we saw an unadjusted increase in jobs this month, it was below typical levels. Since job levels and unemployment rates have been stable for several months now, we will have to wait and see if December was an anomaly." |
