Picking Up the Pieces: 2010 Economic Forecast for Metro Denver

Some have called the national recession that started in December 2007 the worst that has happened in the U.S. since the Great Depression. How might the country and Colorado pick up the pieces left from the collapsed financial markets, employment declines, and eroded consumer confidence and rebuild an economic system that has growth potential in the next decade?

This presentation includes current and projected growth trends at the national, state, and local level. It focuses on the industry developments that are impacting the seven-county Metro Denver economy, including employment and unemployment trends, population growth, construction activity, and the real estate markets. While the Metro Denver economy remains challenged by cautious consumers and businesses and governments working through a damaging combination of lower sales, property, and income taxes, improvements in the Metro Denver economy will become more apparent through the second half of 2010.
