House Bill 1210 was passed in late 2019, and allowed local governments to set higher wages. These municipal minimum wages will not be accurately reflected in some of the wages listed in the table.

It is helpful to know the age bands in a sector, because if there is a substantial percentage of people above 55 years old, it means there will be opportunity as retirements happen.

Based on Age Distribution, Arapahoe/Douglas Works! has developed a way to measure the ‘age gap’ in an industry by comparing the number of workers over age 45 to the number under age 34. Age gap is shown both as a percentage and a count.
