September 2018 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
October 19, 2018 |
|
| "The topline numbers in September show a decline in employment as reported by Vermont
businesses and Vermont households with the most noticeable over-the-year decline found in the
leisure and hospitality sector. While many tourism-based employers are reporting difficulty filling
open positions, unfilled positions could account for some of the reported decline. The Department
is waiting to assess whether the reported decline holds or is adjusted with more data. We know that
year-to-year differences can influence the historically calculated seasonal-adjustment factors. On a
positive note, employers continue to report wage growth, a reflection of historically low
unemployment and increased competition for labor. The Department is available to assist Vermont
employers and job-seekers alike. Please contact any one of the Department's twelve local offices to
learn more." |
Lindsay Kurrle
Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor |
