Summary• Colorado one of the top labor markets since Great

Recession: low unemployment, high labor force participation, fast employment growth, diverse & educated workforce

• Job gains have been uneven across the state, concentrated primarily in metro areas along the Front Range

• While most economic indicators have exceeded levels seen in mid-2000s expansion, there are a few that lag behind the 1990s expansion (involuntary part-time; prime-age participation; wage growth)

• We anticipate continued growth over the next 2 years, but at a slower rate
