As the economic hub of the region, connected by freeways and transit alike, Downtown Denver provides the optimal location to reach the 1.83 million metro Denver talent pool, which grew by 54,217 people last year. Since 2010, the region has added over 230,000 people to the workforce, over 100,000 of which were in the past two years alone.
The talent pool is growing in terms of education as well, with nearly 45% of metro Denver’s population having a bachelor’s degree or higher, a figure that is up by one percentage point in the last year. Denver is attracting talent, and growing our own, with several nearby colleges and universities. Denver is also now ranked as a top 10 tech talent market according to CBRE.
