Employed and unemployed 2023

Each month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Vermont Department of Labor report four key statistics about the labor force, which are based on household surveys:
• Labor force: people employed and unemployed.
• Employed: payroll workers, farmworkers, and the self-employed.
• Unemployed: people not employed who have actively looked for work in the previous four weeks.
• Unemployment rate: number of people employed as a percentage of the labor force.
