December 2016 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release
January 20, 2016
"Preliminary data for calendar year 2016 indicates more Vermonters were employed in 2016 than in 2015.  If the preliminary data holds, this would be the first over-the-year rise in employed persons in four years.  Going forward, increases to the number of employed persons in Vermont will become more challenging due to projected low population growth and anticipated retirements from the Baby-Boomer generation.  The Vermont Department of Labor is committed to maximizing employment outcomes for all Vermonters and ensuring a skilled and adequate workforce for Vermont employers."
Lindsay Kurrle
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor
