Labor Market Updates for Lake County | |
|
With the information given by our partners at Colorado Rural Workforce Consortium, we are eager to present updated information regarding the recent changes in the Lake County Labor Market and how many workers have become employed outside of Lake County. A phrase rom the below document by by Mark Hoblitzell reads:
"According to 2019 data from the US Census, just over 80% of Lake County workers were employed outside of the county with nearly 40% of those jobs located in Eagle or Summit counties. Chaffee County accounted for only 1.6% of jobs. (US Census On the Map, Lake County, All Jobs)"

Travel and commute are an unavoidable part of employment, but some industries have been shown higher percentages of commute time and distance for workers located in the Lake County region. Below is a table that shows the industries in the Lake County Region in contrast to total commute.
