Facts on Job Growth

The Rocky Mountain News highlights a report today that brings tremendous news to those who are invested in and those who enjoy the fruits of Colorado’s economy:

Colorado has cracked America’s Top 10 in job growth just a year after ranking near the bottom – a performance called “a remarkable turnaround” by federal bank regulators.

As you may recall, the lefty snarks at ProgressNow made such a big fuss over Colorado’s recession-period job struggles from 2001 to 2003 after Governor Owens’ State of the State speech in January. Anyone want to posit a theory as to how ProgressNow will explain this latest news development? I’d love to hear your comments. Here are a few I came up with:

“Employers were hiring more workers in anticipation of an impending Democratic takeover of the state legislature.”

“Last year’s rapid influx of jobs to Colorado is further evidence of a Republican conspiracy to overtax our limited natural resources and pollute the environment.”

“The economy may have been able to add a large number of jobs under TABOR, but what about the homeless? Huh?”

At least the results of this survey can’t be as skewed as the recent one touted on ProgressNow.

A happy Thursday to all!
