Two Vermont business surveys share results
Vermont Department of Labor 2023 Employer Survey
The Economic and Labor Market Information Division (LMI) of the Vermont Department of Labor (VDOL) surveyed Vermont firms about various benefits including healthcare, leave, and retirement. Employers were also asked about other topics such as employee retention, remote work, and in-demand skills. This 2023 Employer Survey is an evolution of the Fringe Benefit Survey conducted by The Department in the past. All information presented is based on employer provided responses to a voluntary survey even if not explicitly stated.

2024 Vermont Small Business Economic Outlook Survey
Nearly 100 Vermont businesses from various industries completed the 2024 annual economic survey assessing the outlook of Vermont’s small- to medium-sized businesses. The survey, presented by Davis and Hodgdon CPAs and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, demonstrated that business owners are more optimistic about the U.S. economy than they are about the Vermont economy. This is the opposite of attitudes displayed in survey results from the same timeframe in 2023.
