Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:50:46 GMT

The entire northern Front Range, especially metro Denver, was a hot spot coming out of the Great Recession, drawing in young workers from all over the country. But that important driver of economic growth last decade looks like it has stalled and in some areas reversed.Colorado may have both welcomed and feared the disproportionate flow of new residents last decade.
