We recently had an interesting conversation at a closing with one of our clients. To purchase their new home, the buyers qualified on the husband’s salary only. A couple of weeks before they were ready to close, Jessica, the wife, decided to look for a job on Monster.com. There was one job that particularly interested her – a senior project engineer position at a power plant in Golden, located only minutes from her new Littleton, Colorado home. This was it. One job. She applied, she interviewed and she got the job. This is June 2010, not June 2004. While I am sure she was the perfect candidate, this just demonstrates that there are still many opportunities for employment in Denver, Colorado. Congratulations, Jessica!
A recent article in the Denver Business Journal substantiates this claim, reporting that nineteen percent of Denver-area employers plan to hire in the third quarter of this year. This is a great improvement from the previous quarter (13 percent planned to hire), and from the third quarter of 2009 (nine percent planned to hire), According to the article, job prospects “appear best in construction, nondurable-goods manufacturing, transportation and utilities, wholesale and retail trade, information, financial activities, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and “other services.”
