The Colorado Department of Labor & Employment has moved, (effective 5/31/05): Get Directions

Colorado is a great place to live and work.  At the Department of Labor and Employment, we want to ensure that this continues -- and that means never taking Colorado workers or the businesses that employ them, for granted.

We are committed to both employers and workers by providing an up to date accurate picture of the economy that helps in decision making; by assisting workers who have been injured on the job or lost a job through no fault of their own; by ensuring fair labor practices. And by protecting the work place-and Colorado communities-with a variety of safety programs.

Businesses and workers across the state are providing the intellectual capital, the energy, adaptability and talent that will build Colorado as this century progresses. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will be there to help at every step on the journey ahead.
