This gathering will feature Kevin Stapleton, Assistant Director of the Economic & Labor Market Information Division of the Vermont Department of Labor. He will be speaking on key labor market trends and what they mean for local employers, growing industries, and the future of Vermont’s economy. Stapleton uses raw data to create clear narratives about who is already working in Vermont, where the gaps are, and which industries are primed for growth. 

We will meet over lunch in a relaxed, conversational setting that supports meaningful connection among business, nonprofit, and municipal leaders. Many thanks to our generous host, the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Kevin is a labor market economist and Assistant Director of  Economic & Labor Market Information at the Vermont Department of Labor. In this role he oversees a variety of labor market data programs, analyzes economic trends, and travels the state to discuss the Vermont economy. In addition to his work with VDoL, he is a faculty member at The University of Vermont where he teaches economics and international development. 

Kevin holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and an MS in Applied Economics from the University of Vermont. When he’s not working you can find Kevin riding his bike, running in the woods or sitting in ice-cold arenas watching his 12-year-old daughter play hockey. 

Kevin’s penchant for economics started in the fifth grade when he forgot his lunch money.
