Unemployment

The state of Colorado is rolling out the new unemployment benefits system called MyUI+ and here are the details that we know so far.

Nearly a quarter of a million Coloradans have filed unemployment claims in the past four weeks, and one sector of the workforce has been especially hard hit.

10,000 people in Colorado have filed for unemployment in one day due to coronavirus closures.

The unemployment rate in Colorado increase slightly from July to August but that's not necessarily bad news.

The unemployment rate in Mesa County and throughout western Colorado has seen slight decreases since figures were released for March.

Mesa County saw a very slight dip in unemployment last month. Much the same is true with many counties across western Colorado which are at or near standstill.

It appears snow wasn't the only thing lacking in January as there was enough of a drop in the number of people employed in Mesa County to top the national average.

For much of Western Colorado, jobs are springing up and helping put some green in people's wallets.

Job seekers in Mesa County hoping employment opportunities in 2017 might be better than the previous year will have to wait. The latest job statistics show a small decrease in the percentage of workers with jobs.

The results are in and here's how Colorado fared getting people to work in the month leading up to Labor Day.
