This report, which is published annually, is a compilation of employment and wage data from the Colorado ES-202 Program. The information is compiled from reports submitted to the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment by employers subject to unemployment insurance law under the Colorado Employment Security Act. Employment and wage data for civilian federal government employees in Colorado are also included in this report.

Employment and wage information are compiled by county and industry for private business and government. Some data items are not available for public disclosure in accordance with U.S. Department of Labor guidelines. Because every attempt is made to use actual instead of imputed data, this report is not published until seven months after the end of the reporting period to allow for the verification of questionable data and the inclusion of late reports.
