35、l since the last shortage in the late 1980s Vermont has a relatively low vacancy rate, at 7 8 percent But its vacancies were at 1 2 percent just five years ago Another symptom is the increased use of stopgap measures to fill empty positions For instance, many nurses report an upswing in how frequent
