Issue Position: Jobs & Economic Growth

Issue Position

When every person seeking work can find a job that pays a living wage, our economy will have fully recovered.

Colorado is fortunate that our economy is doing better than most other states -- our state's unemployment rate is below 5% and Colorado is consistently rated one of the best states in which to do business by industry publications. However, the economic recovery has not reached everyone equally. I support ongoing investment in education and job training programs so that Aurorans and all Coloradans can compete aggressively for the increasing number of jobs that require advanced skills.
