November 2019 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release
December 20, 2019
"As we reach the end of the year, we are reminded that Vermont experienced one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country in 2019.  While it’s good news to have fewer people who are unemployed, this record low also brought challenges for employers looking for qualified workers.  Strengthening our workforce has been a top priority, and we look forward to continuing our work in the New Year."
Michael Harrington
Acting Labor Commissioner
