The Vermont Department of Labor
Working Together for Vermont

The Department was created on July 1, 2005 through an Executive Order(#01-05) merging the Departments of Labor and Industry and Employment and Training.The Department's primary focus is to help support efforts to make Vermont a more competitive place to do business and create good jobs.

The Department of Labor consists of the following divisions: Economic and Labor Market Information, Workers' Compensation and Safety, Workforce Development, Workforce Development Council, and Unemployment Insurance and Wages. An organizational chart is available on the website for your reference.

The goal of the Department is to create one administrative umbrella that will strengthen critical areas, utilize available resources to their fullest, and provide an effective and efficient service delivery model for employers, workers and job seekers. We welcome your suggestions on how best to provide and improve those services.

One of the ways we hope to make it easier for you to access needed services and information is through this website. If you have any suggestions about the website, please contact Rick Steventon at rick.steventon@state.vt.us.
