Tourism-related businesses and retailers added workers in October as the Colorado unemployment rate dipped two- tenths of a percentage point to 3.7 percent, state labor officials said Tuesday.
With the growth, Colorado remains on track to post at least a 2 percent increase in the workforce for the year despite some slowing in the economy, state labor economist Joseph Winter said.
The state’s jobless rate was 3.9 percent in September and 4.2 percent in October 2006. The national unemployment rate for October was unchanged at 4.7 percent.
