Next Legislative Committee Meeting is
Monday, January 11, 2021
9:30AM - 11:30AM
Greetings!

Well, we are coming to the end of 2020 soon. What a year this has been. We extend our thoughts and prayers to those who have lost someone to COVID and to those who have lost jobs. We sincerely hope that 2021 will bring positive change to Colorado communities and our economy.

In talking about the Colorado economy, the Colorado Legislative Council Staff has released their December 2020 Economic & Revenue Forecast. Their December 2020 Forecast Presentation Slides shared this summary of the economy:

  • The economic recovery continues to outpace expectations, yet softening at the end of the year with the rise in COVID-19 cases poses near-term downside risks
  • While many households and businesses have recovered, others continue to be hit hard in this K-shaped recovery
  • Vaccine distribution heightened optimism and is expected to boost economic activity starting in the second half of 2021
  • Consistent with past recessions, labor markets will lag recovery in other parts of the economy
  • Inflationary pressures will remain subdued as low energy prices, low global demand offset global supply constraints
