Unemployment in Colorado is growing.
The state reported its unemployment rate hit 4.1% in October, up from 4% the month before — matching the national average after being below the U.S. rate all year, according to data from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s report released Monday. The number of unemployed grew by nearly 4,000 over the month to a total of 134,000.
The national unemployment rate of 4.1% was unchanged from September.
