August 2019 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
September 20, 2019 |
|
| "Vermont's unemployment rate continues to be among the lowest in the country. While this is good news for job seekers because it means there are employers hungry for talent, it does not necessarily mean finding meaningful work is easy. It takes hard work and determination, and even then, that may not be enough. Across the state, each of our regions is unique. Some regions suffer from a shortage of workers, while others a shortage of jobs, and in many of these same regions job seekers and employers also face challenges with transportation, housing, and childcare. It is these barriers to employment that take the task of finding work and make it unattainable for so many. The Department of Labor, and its staff, are committed to removing these barriers so that job seekers have an easier time finding well-paying jobs in high-demand areas." |
Michael Harrington
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor |
