Unemployment rates in Colorado fell for the fourth consecutive month in June to 8.5 percent, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

"The largest private sector job gains in June were in leisure and hospitality, education and health services, trade, transportation and utilities." wrote Heather Draper in an article for the Denver Business Journal. "The largest declines were in construction, financial activities and information."

The national jobless rate is 9.2 percent, which is a decrease from last year's rate of 9.5 percent in June 2010.
