32. The economic recovery is anemic. About 17,200 net jobs have been added in Colorado since August 2010. Net job gains are a result of weak jobs added and a sharp decline in gross job losses. Sectors that continue to be a drag on the economy:  Construction  Information  State Government  Local Government (including school districts). Some areas of Colorado’s housing market are improving.  Reduced foreclosures  Slight increase in building permits  Prices better than in other parts of the U.S. Factors Affecting the Economy

33. Summary Economic growth will remain weak More job opportunities through replacement needs than growth The Colorado workforce is aging and the younger population is less educated Metropolitan Area/Rural Area disparities No Workforce Investment Area is an island!
