Due to the current lapse in appropriations, all Bureau of Labor Statistics activities have been suspended. As such, the Economic & Labor Market Information Division did not release the September jobs report on 10/21/2025 as previously scheduled. We expect to release all monthly data when funding is restored, and the federal government resumes operations.

August 2025 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
September 19, 2025 |
|
| Commissioner's Message |
| "Over the past seven months, an estimated 5,000 Vermonters have left the labor force, in part due to retirements. While demographic shifts present real challenges, this is also an opportunity to continue connecting Vermonters with good jobs, training, and career pathways,” said Kendal Smith, Vermont Department of Labor Commissioner. “Vermont’s economy depends on a strong and engaged workforce—which means we all have a role to play in building it. There are many ways to retain talent and draw more people to Vermont, including housing solutions, education transformation, service opportunities, and everyday training and job support."
