What’s Working: Colorado’s April job growth is the best in 12 months, but it’s slower than the nation’s

After several lackluster months, preliminary data shows that Colorado employers added more jobs in April than they have in the past 12 months. 

More than half of the 7,200 new jobs were in the leisure and hospitality industry, according to the Establishment Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job gains were offset by losses in industries like finance, which include banks and insurance, which shed 1,400 jobs last month.
