January 2007 - Year in Review (PDF)

  • 2006 was probably the best overall year Vermilion County has seen in well over a quarter of a century.

  • We experienced the lowest unemployment rate in over 30 years with a growing labor force.

  • There were no major closings or permanent downsizing announcements.

  • There were several major union contracts ratified without fanfare. 

  • Our workforce development initiatives continued to grow and attract regional and national attention.
