Colorado enjoys a healthy job market. The unemployment rate was 3.6% as of May 2007, a figure significantly lower than the national average. The trade, transportation, and utilities industry is Colorado's largest, employing 420,700 workers across the state.
The healthcare industry is expected to see growth in Colorado. Ambulance drivers in Denver, Colorado make an average of $27,900, while clinical nurse specialists earn $80,300 on average. No educational program can guarantee a particular career or salary, of course, but completing a job training program offers evidence of a worker's commitment to the field.
While Denver is Colorado's largest city and home to a number of job opportunities, Fort Collins was recently named by Fast Company magazine as a research & development hot spot in their list of 30 Fastest Cities to Live, Work, and Play. The magazine noted that Fort Collins is a leader in business and technology innovation, partially due to research programs at Colorado State University as well as local companies LSI Logic and Advanced Energy Industries.
