Rockies Report Card

Colorado College has created its 5th annual State of the Rockies report card. This annual research project looks at the issues that impact Colorado, Wyoming and Montana as well as states that neighbor the Rockies states. This year's report takes a good look at immigration and affordable housing, both of which have a huge impact on the construction industry. Ironically, the report shows there are fewer immigrants here than there used to be. (Wonder if that's because Congress let H2B expire and we don't have the legal immigrant workforce we need to do business in this area??? Meanwhile douglas Bruce is asserting that we don't need legal immigrant labor in Colorado, which proves he doesn't have a clue about how the state's economy works!) Anyway, the report gives a good look at the critical issues impacting this region.
