BBdnvemR.doc DENVER LOOKING FOR WORKERS Written by  for the Paperstore, Inc., October 2000 Introduction Colorados overall unemployment rate dropped to 2.8 percent during August, according to figures from the Colorado Department of Labor  and Employment. The drop was slight -- just two-tenths of 1 percentage point -- but helped push the jobless rate well below last August, when 4 percent of the states  work force was unemployed.

The number of unemployed, however, is still down from the level of 66,800 one year ago. Colorado firms added 4,400 jobs over-the-month reaching  2,190,700. This was an increase of 3.6 percent or 76,300 positions from April 1999. Two industry sectors lost jobs over-the-month. Transportation and public utilities and finance, insurance, and real estate
