Vermont jobs outlook worse than students think? By Bruce Parker Vermont Watchdog Report MONTPELIER Ñ A recent survey shows college graduates are leaving Vermont because they think the state has a bad jobs outlook. Depending on which employment data they look at, the situation may be even worse than they think. In a survey conducted by the Vermont Department of Labor and St. MichaelÕ s College, more than 60 percent of graduates, and 75 percent of seniors, said they planned to leave Vermont after college Ñ or said they already left. Just 39.8 percent of graduates said they were staying in Vermont post-graduation, and only 24.5 percent of seniors said they plan to stay, according to a statement from the governor’s office. Among graduates who already left, 36.6 percent cited a Ò reported lack of job availabilityÓ as the reason for leaving. Of seniors who plan to leave, 38.1 percent said a Ò reported lack of available jobsÓ would be a key factor. Responding to the news, Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) blasted negative Ò perceptionsÓ and touted 2,000 job openings among employers who attended the Labor Department’s mid-September job fair. Cabot, General Dynamics, Green Mountain Power and Dealer.com, among other companies, are Ò clamoring for the exact graduates who are leaving our state,Ó Shumlin said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13
