“Metro Denver’s unadjusted unemployment rate stood at 5.4 percent in April, sharply lower than a year earlier, according to raw county jobs estimates Friday from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. Unemployment in metro Denver was 6.5 percent in April 2013 and 6.4 percent in March of this year, according to the CDLE numbers. The 5.4 percent unadjusted jobless rate is for a 10-county area that includes Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Broomfield and Centennial, but not Boulder County. Boulder County’s unemployment rate was 4.2 percent last month. The rate for metro Denver combined with Boulder was 5.3 percent.”
