Definition
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) is a program of the VT Dept. of Labor's Economic & Labor Market Information Division in cooperation with the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. LAUS incorporates data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), Vermont’s Unemployment Insurance program, and Current Employment Statistics to generate monthly estimates of the number of Vermonters employed and unemployed (which combined equal the total labor force).
All LAUS data can be found on the Economic & Labor Market Information Division's website.
