Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country

🏆 Ranked #1 for Unemployment Disparity in the Colorado High Country — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. The Colorado High Country’s labor market is not unified—it’s fractured. Summit County’s 3.5% unemployment rate versus San Miguel County’s 3.1% reveals a 0.4-point spread, the widest within the region. This gap isn’t about job scarcity; it’s about housing strain, seasonal volatility, and workforce stability. The result? A labor market where jobs exist but long-term residency does not.
