Immigrants in Vermont

Vermont has a small but growing community of immigrants, the majority hailing from Canada. While nearly 5 percent of the state’s residents are immigrants, they are a vital share of Vermont’s labor force. The agriculture industry—an economic mainstay in Vermont—relies on immigrants for over 10 percent of its employees, while roughly 15 percent of all community and social service personnel are immigrants. As workers, business owners, taxpayers, and neighbors, immigrants are an integral part of Vermont’s diverse and thriving communities and make extensive contributions that benefit all.
