Jobs are the political issue these days. Unemployment is stubbornly high and we constantly hear people in political office, and those who want to be, talk about creating jobs. But what do the actual job creators think? We reached out to local business owners through our Public Insight Network. Dozens responded. In the coming months, we’ll bring some of them together to talk jobs and other legislative issues important to their bottom line. Host Ryan Warner speaks with our first three panelists, who have provided their biographies and photos [below].
Are you a business owner in Colorado? Can you relate to the issues raised in this conversation? Share your perspective.
