Data for occupational labor force statistics obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
http://www.bls.gov/oes/2007/may/oes_co.htm.
(1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates
do not include self-employed workers.
(2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a “year-round, full-time” hours figure of 2,080 hours;
for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the
reported survey data.
(3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the
more precise the estimate.

Area Cost of Living Index12

 Social Security is the only source of income for one in four Coloradans age 65+.
 Social Security lifts nearly half of Coloradan retirees from poverty; 43% of the
state’s population would have incomes below the poverty line if they did not
receive Social Security.
 Social Security pumps over $6 billion into Colorado’s economy; the average
yearly benefit for a Colorado retiree in 2006 was $12,002 or about $1,000 a
month.

*PITI: Principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Median PITI plus energy and water
utilities for homeowners (with and without a mortgage) exclude condominium fees. To
continue paying a mortgage after age 50 places great stress on lower-income households
according to the analysis of the American Community Survey. For many low-income
homeowners the combined costs of principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI), and
energy and water utilities exceeds annual income. These households are likely surviving
by drawing down assets, by going into debt (including taking money out of the home
through refinancing), by borrowing from friends or family, and through a variety of
government assistance programs including property tax abatements, utility assistance to
low-income families, the earned income tax credit, and tax breaks for mortgage interest
and property taxes. (Poverty and Aging in America, 2008).
