Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scot today announced that Commissioner Michael Harrington will be leaving his role leading the Department of Labor at the beginning of July.
Harrington was first appointed deputy commissioner by Governor Scott in 2017. In June 2020, Harrington was named commissioner of the Department of Labor.
“Mike has been a skilled and dedicated public servant, especially helping us lead through the pandemic where there was an unprecedented number of Vermonters unemployed all at once,” said Governor Phil Scott. “I’m grateful for Mike’s service to Vermont and wish him all the best.”
“It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Vermont as labor commissioner and a privilege to work for a governor who exhibits such steadfastness and integrity. I am grateful to the Governor for the opportunity to make meaningful change for the State, its employers, and their workers,” said Harrington. “While I have chosen to move on from my position, I am encouraged knowing that Governor Scott, and his team, will continue to fight for affordability and the economic well-being of every person in Vermont.”
