 Colorado labor market conditions weakened in October as
the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate jumped one-half of a percentage point
to 5.7 percent, according to Donald J. Mares, Executive Director of the Colorado
Department of Labor and Employment. “After exhibiting comparable strength
during the first quarter of this year, Colorado appears to be succumbing to many
of the economic pressures facing the nation and changes in the job market here
mirrored those of the national economy in October,” stated Mares.
