The city and county of Denver’s Office of Economic Development’s Division of Workforce Development released a study that shows metro Denver has a very educated work force and is ready to respond to the economic trends in the next three years.
Some of the findings include:
- The metro area continues to possess a highly educated work force. Nearly 41% of city residents and 38% of metro residents had bachelor’s degrees. More than 13,000 students graduated from metro Denver public four-year colleges and 5,000 students graduated from metro-area community colleges in 2003.
- Current job seekers are most likely to be in the office and administrative, sales, and construction and extraction occupations.
- The health care, retail trade and construction industries are projected to have the largest growth in demand for employees from 2004 to 2007.
