State means the sponsor’s address on the filing, not where employees work. The figures above read all 142 of the form-year-2024 DOL EFAST2 filings from Vermont, so they are every plan of that size filed from the state; 2 of them have a page of their own here. A plan with fewer than 100 participants files a shorter form and is not in this data at all.
