September 2021 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
October 22, 2021 |
|
| "This economic recovery is unusual for many reasons. While the unemployment rate is near pre-pandemic levels, the labor force is down approximately 7% or 25,000 individuals. The number of filled jobs is down about 6% or 20,000 positions. This contraction in the labor force combined with Vermont employers ramping up hiring efforts to fill open positions is resulting in an extremely tight labor market. The Department’s job board, VermontJobLink.com, shows over 10,000 open positions currently under recruitment in Vermont and our local workforce teams continue to work with jobseekers, offering both in-person and virtual services, such as workshops, job fairs, and one-on-one career consultations. Finally, National Apprenticeship Week is right around the corner! This nation-wide celebration of apprenticeship programs and participants is November 15-21st and will highlight the importance of industry recognized credentials. Vermont has over 300 registered apprenticeship programs across 35 different occupations, and the average rate of pay for an apprentice at the completion of the program is $23.75 per hour. More information can be found online at Labor.Vermont.gov/Jobs or by calling 833-719-1051." |
