Colorado added 1500 jobs in August 2018. Wonder how much they pay on average. "That is the fourth longest current streak in the nation, trailing only three other states: New Hampshire, Hawaii and North Dakota," Gedney said. "Colorado has quite a ways to go to challenge the all-time streak which belongs to Nebraska. The Cornhusker State went 12 years without their unemployment rate going above 3 percent. And that was basically the whole decade of the 90s."
More than a quarter of Colorado households, about 430,000, don’t earn enough income to cover basic costs like food, shelter, transportation, health care and childcare, according to a new self-sufficiency standard report Tuesday from the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.
Two-thirds of those struggling families don’t meet the official poverty definition, leaving them largely hidden and beyond the reach of programs designed to offer financial support.
