Denver's Mixed Signals: Navigating Economic Shifts in 2025
Denver's job market in October 2025 shows mixed signals as the region navigates through significant economic adjustments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently revealed a substantial revision to national employment figures, discovering an overcount of 911,000 jobs for the twelve-month period ending in March 2025. This revision came after President Trump fired the BLS Commissioner following disappointing employment reports, raising questions about the accuracy of preliminary job data nationwide.
Colorado's unemployment rate fell by three-tenths of a percentage point in August, dropping below the national average, according to BizWest. This decline suggests relative strength in the state's labor market despite broader economic headwinds. New business filings in Colorado increased by 7.2 percent in the third quarter, though the state's overall economic growth pace ranked thirty-fourth nationally with 0.6 percent growth in August.
The Denver office market is experiencing significant transformation as it approaches 2025. CBRE's Real Estate Market Outlook indicates that office vacancy rates are expected to peak at 19 percent in 2025, though certain submarkets like Denver's Union Station are performing better than others. More than one-third of companies surveyed plan to increase their portfolio requirements over the next two years, while 25 percent expect no change. Smaller tenants seeking between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet will account for more than half of total leasing volume.
The construction sector has shown resilience, with data centers and infrastructure projects keeping contractor backlogs steady in September despite slower commercial work. Capital expenditures in technology and AI investments could approach 400 billion dollars in 2025, up from 235 billion in 2024, potentially creating new employment opportunities in tech-related fields.
Denver's budget situation reflects economic pressures, with the city moving to slow government growth. The 2025 budget marked the first in over a decade outside of COVID to restrain expansion, while the proposed 2026 budget actually implements cuts.
The housing market shows cooling with homes spending a median of 47 days on the market before going under contract in August according to Redfin data, suggesting reduced market urgency.
