January 2019 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
March 11, 2019 |
|
| "On its face, the idea of a 'historically low unemployment rate' sounds like a positive outcome and for current job seekers, it is. However, for employers and the state overall, this level of unemployment is impeding economic growth. The lack of available individuals to work means Vermont businesses are having difficulty growing, and it is becoming harder for businesses to maintain current workforce size if an employee quits. The Department is actively working to get the message out there that there are great jobs in Vermont for individuals of all skillsets and backgrounds. Efforts to recruit need to be focused on bringing new workers into the state, and also bringing current residents back into the labor market. To learn about employment or training opportunities in your area, please contact one of the Department's 12 Career Resource Centers spread across the state." |
Lindsay Kurrle
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor |
