Metro Denver job market seen nationally as bright spot
Metro Denver’s job market continues to show strength and is recognized as a bright spot in national employment growth, according to data compiled by the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. in its Monthly Economic Summary for September.
A recent analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows the Denver-Aurora-Broomfield MSA ranked third among the largest metro area in nonagricultural job growth from July 2011 to July 2012, posting a 3 percent gain.
“Key high-tech industry clusters, such as aerospace, bioscience, IT-software, and energy, support our state's strong innovation culture and help sustain job growth in the region," said Tom Clark, CEO of the Metro Denver EDC. "We have 14 Colorado companies on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies, and there are four new biotech startups moving into the Bioscience Park Center at the Fitzsimons Life Science District. Needless to say, there's no shortage of innovative activity in Metro Denver.”
