Every conversation about doing business in Colorado seems to start in the same place these days. Costs are up. Regulation is a concern. Hiring is competitive. All of that is fair, and none of it should be waved away. But at some
point those concerns stopped being part of the conversation and became the whole thing.
SO WE WENT LOOKING FOR THE OTHER HALF, AND WE FOUND MORE OF IT THAN WE EXPECTED.
- Costs have gone up, and so has personal income.
- The legislature gets a lot of attention, and Colorado’s voting history has been more moderate than some people assume.
- Talent is expensive to win, and once you have it, this is one of the easiest places in the country to keep it.
THAT’S THE IDEA BEHIND YES. AND… COLORADO, a series of insight studies, speaking events, and community forums we’re launching this fall. It’s built on real data, and it’s designed to give you the whole picture when you need it.
FIRST FINDINGS ARE LIVE THE FIRST FINDINGS NOW AT YesAndColorado.com. They cover talent and workforce, business growth and investment, and how much this region gets out of working as one cohesive economy.
NEW FINDINGS covering talent and workforce, business growth and investment, and how much this region gets out of working as one cohesive economy, are set to drop over the coming months, each one adding evidence to the picture.
EVERY BRIEF is short enough to remember and clearly sourced, so you have an answer ready when the subject comes up in a board meeting or from a candidate weighing an offer somewhere else. You probably already suspected some of the negative
rhetoric was overblown. This is the part where you get to say so out loud.
Sign up on the site to receive updates as new items drop so you can be first with the insights.
