March 2022 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
April 15, 2022 |
|
| "As we know, the Vermont economy changes with the seasons and as the sap flows, so too do the jobs. The months of April, May and June are a period of transition for many Vermonters, as they either return to employment or switch from winter to summer operations. Most notably, this is a time when programs of study, including apprenticeships, are nearing graduation. This presents an important opportunity for employers to partner with the Vermont Department of Labor and education providers to tap into this population and their newly obtained skills and abilities as they join the labor force. With this in mind, it is not surprising that the household data for March showed a boost to the Vermont labor force and the number of people working in the state – a trend that is likely to continue through the summer.
The Department of Labor has a number of hiring events already on the books, and employers are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities as a way to find key talent. Of note, is the state-wide job fair hosted by the Associated General Contractors of Vermont, which is sponsored in part by the Department of Labor. This job fair is being held on Tuesday, April 26 at the Champlain Valley Expo and is open to all sectors and industries, including health care, government, manufacturing, and more. To learn more about these events and opportunities to connect with job seekers, contact our Workforce Development team at (802) 828-4394 or by visiting Labor.Vermont.gov/Jobs." |
