The Olympics are inspiring! I love watching the nightly coverage.  The Colorado athletes are making us proud, aren’t they? Their spirit and perseverance are qualities to be emulated and we watch with admiration and awe.

Experts are predicting a brighter forecast for 2010.  Just what we need to hear. Economists across the board seem to have a common theme:  recovery will be slow, but the most painful times are over. Since the summer of 2009, U.S. and global economic growth is underway and this will pave the way for Colorado economic growth.
 
According to Richard Wobbekind, economist for the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business, Colorado will still rank among the top 10 states for job creation in 2010. Colorado’s unemployment rate is predicted to be 7.3% for 2010. That is good news for the many unemployed people in Colorado and it casts a sunny future for the housing sector as well.
