Worker Shortage Intensifies
Our worker shortage crisis is intensifying as job openings keep rising month after month. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports there were more than 10.9 million job openings in the economy at the end July – an all-time record yet again. The July record is an astounding 749,000 more than in June. In total, businesses have added almost 4.2 million job openings in 2021. There are now 2.2 million more job openings than there are unemployed workers in the economy... . .. .. . Shortage Continues
Tech Policies That Help Small Business
Operating a small business during the pandemic is undoubtedly difficult but technology is helping companies stay afloat and thrive by adopting new business models. Take, for example, Reef Technology which is helping restaurants build Neighborhood kitchens in places like unused parking lots that help restaurants meet increased demand for delivery and connect them when gig economy companies serve their guests. The number of small businesses over the last 2 years that have embraced online tools to connect with customers, market their products, and conduct operations skyrocketed. Tools like social media, delivery services, e-commerce platforms, digital payment systems, and more, have been a lifeline for businesses facing uncertainty, lockdowns, and shifting safety protocols. Although circumstances have improved since the height of the pandemic, many small businesses (67.5%) are still struggling and some (27%) are at risk of failing without the right support from policymakers.. . . .. . . . . .. ... . . . . .. ... . . . . .. .. . . . .. ... ... . . . . .. .... .... . . . . .. .... .... . . . . .. .... .. . . . .. .... .. .

Vaccines For More Than COVID Prevention
As students across Colorado head back to school, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) asks parents and guardians to keep vaccine-preventable diseases out of Colorado classrooms and help ensure continued and safe in-person learning. While children 11-years-old and younger are not yet eligible for any of the COVID-19 vaccines, there are other vaccines that protect them from 16 other infectious diseases, including measles, whooping cough, mumps, and varicella (chickenpox). The state is experiencing decreases in vaccination coverage as identified through aggregate, de-identified data self-reported to CDPHE by schools and child care providers for the 2020-2021 school year. With the exception of hepatitis B, immunization rates for school-required vaccines fell among kindergartners -- with coverage for polio and varicella falling below 90%.
