Vermont Job Gap Study

The Vermont Job Gap Study is an effort to investigate and better understand certain aspects of the Vermont economy.  There are 9 phases of the study (1995-2006) initiated and published by the Peace & Justice Center. 

Free Downloads of all Phases at the Vermont Livable Wage Campaign web site.

Phase 9 of the Vermont Job Gap Study was released in Feb. 2006. Phase 9 breaks new ground in our work to raise awareness on the State's priorities for allocating our tax dollars and how this impacts working Vermonters. The State spent almost $42 million in FY05 for core economic development programs. Phase 9 provides recommendations for evaluating and adjusting current allocations of taxpayer resources to support working people, i.e. livable jobs in Vermont.

Addendum to Phase 9 of the VT Job Gap Study: VT Business Climate -- Interstate Business Relocation, Myths vs. Reality. The Addendum examines the assertion that VT has an unfriendly business climate and this impedes business and job growth. New findings compare fact vs. fiction.
