Latest Unemployment Press Release

| "Vermont's unemployment rate had only a minor decrease this month, but in looking back even to last fall, the state has made great progress. In August of 2011, Vermont's seasonally-adjusted statewide unemployment rate was 5.6%. In just over a half-year, we are at 4.8% - a significantly positive improvement. While Vermont continues to face some short and long-term economic concerns, we are in a better position to address these challenges. Right now, our focus at the Department of Labor is helping every Vermonter who is seeking work find a good job here in this state." |
Annie M. Noonan
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor |
