Endnotes [1] The Town of Middlebury’s unemployment rate was substantially higher than the regional average. This is most likely the result of the large student population. The Census recorded an unemployment rate of 9.0% in Middlebury, while the VT Department of Employment and Training calculated an unemployment rate of 2.6% for the town in 2000. If Middlebury is removed the regional unemployment rate drops from 4.5% to around 3.3%, which is more inline with state figures.

[4] The Vermont Department of Employment and Training’s economic data is based on information from employers paying unemployment insurance and does not fully capture all employment in the Addison Region. [5] The Bureau of Economic Analysis is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Employment, as defined by the BEA, is the total number of persons: a) performing any type of labor for pay or profit, b) working at least 15 hours per week on an unpaid basis in family enterprises, and c) temporarily absent for non-economic reasons. Employment under this definition includes all full-time and part-time jobs. The BEA employment count is a measure of occupied jobs, rather than a measure of employed persons. [6] The average wage figures reported by the DET for the food service sector may not accurately reflect total wages with tips.

Therefore, the figures from previous censuses are not directly comparable to the 2000 Census.
