About Denver, Colorado
With 300 annual days of sunshine and the nation’s largest public park system, Metro Denver residents dabble in everything from skiing to hiking, mountain biking to river rafting. Perhaps that’s why Metro Denver is the fittest city in the U.S. Which also makes its workforce healthy, active—and fit for business.
When they’re not enjoying Metro Denver’s great outdoors, citizens take advantage of championship sports teams and events at the Center for the Performing Arts—the largest such facility outside of New York City.
A city of distinctive neighborhoods, Metro Denver’s cost of living remains affordable. Living here is easier on your wallet than living in California or East Coast cities, as well as Chicago, Minneapolis, and Portland.
Companies large and small populate Metro Denver. The area maintains a healthy cross-section of industries, including aerospace, biosciences, software development, financial services, and energy.
Employees can establish careers and keep their skills fresh through a multitude of educational resources and professional associations. Ten four-year public and private colleges and universities enroll a total of over 125,000 students. However, the area’s largest provider of workforce training and education services is its five two-year community colleges and 60 vocational/technical schools.
