Colorado unemployment rate flat in March
Larimer and Broomfield tied for lowest local rate
DENVER — Colorado’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was flat at 3.9% from February to March, according to the most-recent data from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
In the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado, Broomfield and Larimer counties led the way in March with unadjusted jobless rates of 3.6%, while Boulder County recorded a rate of 3.7% and Weld County 4.1%.
“Over the year, the average workweek for all Colorado employees on private nonfarm payrolls decreased from 33.5 to 33.4 hours, while average hourly earnings grew from $39.32 to $39.82, $2.44 more than the national average hourly earnings of $37.38,” according to CDLE’s March report. State unemployment reports have trailed the calendar since CDLE paused reporting jobs data last fall during the federal government shutdown before resuming its monthly updates in December.
