Vermont’s Unemployment Rate Increases to 2.2 Percent for September



While this month’s report shows a slight increase in the unemployment rate, it is important to note that the data provided is preliminary and likely to be adjusted over time as more detailed information becomes available. Even with this increase, Vermont’s rate remains one of the lowest in the country, making it hard for businesses to fill vacant positions with skilled talent. In continuing our efforts to bolster Vermont’s workforce, the Department is excited to announce that October 2019 has been proclaimed ‘Careers in Construction Month’. In Vermont, construction accounts for more than 5% of the workforce with roughly 15,000 jobs, and an average wage of $51,000 per year, which is above the statewide average. This is a great opportunity to encourage young people to explore the diverse employment options within this important industry, as well as the wide variety of training programs offered through the Department of Labor. Please join us in celebrating ‘Careers in Construction Month’,” said Labor Commissioner Michael Harrington.
