Colorado is seeing job cuts across multiple sectors.
In May, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden laid off 114 employees. The layoffs affected both research and operations staff. The decision followed federal stop-work orders, new directives, and budget cuts from the Department of Energy.
Denver’s IRS office laid off between 120 and 150 workers in February. Most were early-career staff. These cuts happened during tax season.
Since January, more than 600 federal workers in Colorado have filed for unemployment. Most came from the Agriculture and Treasury departments. Colorado has around 57,000 federal employees. More layoffs are expected.
In March, NOAA cut roughly 10% of its workforce in Boulder. Over 1,000 scientists lost their jobs. The move triggered protests over risks to weather and climate research.
Denver also plans city worker layoffs in 2026 to close a $250 million budget gap. Officials may remove seniority rules. Layoffs could be based on performance, not tenure.
In the private sector, a Denver oil and gas company filed a WARN notice for 125 layoffs in May.
Federal, local, and industry jobs are all being affected. The result is growing concern across Colorado’s workforce.
More updates are expected soon.
