But…but…but…Socialists! Obummerkare! Steyer! Benghazi!
This is all a librul lie because…because…freedom!
And Magpul!!!!11!
…shouldnt' that be "Freedumb!!" ??
Its clearly because the economy knew that Republicans would take over the state Senate at the end of the year.
That's what the Republicans in Congress are going with in taking credit for the improving economy before their congressional majorities were even sworn in.
It's all the result of those excessive government regulations and high taxes brought about by the Dems over the past ten years.
Who knew that baking brownies would be profitable and a driver of employment?
Colorado…..where you can bake cannabis-infused cake as long as you don't try to force someone to bake one for a gay wedding.
Maybe forcing the bakers has reduced the unemployment numbers??
The first time that unemployment went below 4% was under Clinton. Economists used to consider 4% unemployment to be FULL employment.
Ahhh, you’re making me nostalgic for the Clinton Days. I can hear Cfeetwood Mac singing Don’t Stop.
But the rate ticked back up in Grand Junction. When will people around here wake up to the fact that drill, baby, drill isn't the answer?
Aw, it ain't got nuthin' ta do with that, gertie. It's cuzza them damn Boulder hippys an' them furriner illeagle immygrints a-stickin' it to them fine westren slope awl-bidness foke!
Is Mesa State University not hiring any more?
Repeal the renewable energy standards! Severance taxes are too high! There's too many environmental hurdles! Our economy is crashing to a halt! Oh, wait…
It's interesting to dig into the job stats a bit – from the original CDE and Denver Business Journal article, the top ten employers hiring in CO in 2014 were almost exclusively health and research-related. So if anything, I'd be inclined to credit Obamacare for a big boost in CO's jobs.
Mark Harden wrote in the DBJ:
The cannabis industry has undoubtedly given a boost to Colorado taxes, and has undoubtedly created many of those sales jobs, and also attracted tourists and travelers, thereby promoting the hospitality industries and offsetting the losses from the transient oil workers.
Now we do know that in Weld County, 1,500 construction and mining and extraction jobs were added in 2013-2014. But many of those are going to go away again, now that oil is cheap and shale extraction is still costly. Anyway, those added jobs were less than those generated by manufacturing (including Vestas wind turbine manufacturing), meat processing, and health insurance records processing. (Upstate Colorado report for 2013-2014)
Here are the top ten occupations hiring online in Colorado in 2014. Plenty of nurses and administrators, computer techs, sales, and customer service reps – no roughnecks, no miners.
Well, not to worry. With the overwhelming mandate the GOP got in taking the Senate by 1 seat by 700 votes from Adams county, they will wrest the reins of the economy away from Democrats and drive it back into the ditch where it belongs…
