Grand Junction has seen a 7% reduction in job postings since Jan. 1 — leading all major cities in Colorado.
That’s according to a quarterly jobs report by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce and technology firm Aspen Technology Labs (ATL), which compiled job and salary data from around the state to paint a picture of Colorado’s economic standing as well as the economic standing of its cities. Statewide, job postings are down 2% from the start of the year, meaning Grand Junction is in particularly good shape in that regard.
“What that says is that our economy remains nimble and strong and that we’re continuing to make the most out of our workforce,” said Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Candace Carnahan.
