Colorado's unemployment rate tied its record low in October and November 2019, at 2.6%. That translated to 82,372 people were unemployed while 3,088,059 had a job. That's a big change from 2010's 8.7% rate, which came after the 2008 recession. The low rate means employers are having a hard time finding enough workers, from software engineers to bus drivers and customer service reps.
