67 percent of job openings for “top jobs” typically require some level of formalized postsecondary education or training.
Despite the fact that Colorado has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country at 2.3 percent, there is still untapped talent in Colorado. Unemployment rates are higher for various segments of the population, such as those with disabilities, those with a criminal record, and youth. There are also over 400,000 Colorado adults with some postsecondary education, but no credential. The unemployment rate varies by region, as does the share of residents that participate in the labor market.
