Businesses in the Rocky Mountains Report Steady Employment Outlooks with Softer Wage Gains


Abstract: Employers in the Rocky Mountain region expect stable employment levels over the next year on balance. Businesses where employment recently fell reduced their headcount mainly by not backfilling open positions. Lower hiring activity is accompanied by less competitive pressure on wages than in past years, especially for new hires.
