April 2021 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
May 21, 2021 |
|
| "It's important to look at this month's report with a bit of historical context. We are now 12 months from the worst part of the current recession. In April 2020, there were fewer than 200,000 private-sector jobs, a decline of over 60,000 from April 2019. Due in part to the steep decline last spring, this month’s employment numbers as reported by Vermont businesses look extremely positive with a 20% increase over the year in private-sector employment. While many private-sector jobs have returned, the Vermont economy is still down an estimated 18,800 private-sector jobs since before the pandemic. Additionally, there are over 30,000 fewer people employed with an increasing number of the unemployed population classified as 'long-term unemployed,' those unemployed for 27 weeks or more. The impacts of COVID-19 are a significant factor in this data. Nonetheless, long periods of unemployment can have lingering effects on individuals, making it more difficult to rejoin the workforce. The Department of Labor's Workforce Development Division can help mitigate these negative outcomes through in-person or virtual services so that unemployed Vermonters can find meaningful employment. Visit www.labor.vermont.gov/jobs to connect with our workforce development team today." |
