Excerpt from Ninth Biennial Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Of the State of Colorado, 1903-1904 The present report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, owing to limitation of the number of pages, in accordance with the act passed in 101, is far from what the compiler would desire, but the law in this particular must be obeyed, in accordance with an opinion given by the Attorney General of the State. Most of the copy had been prepared for a report that would cover some 500 pages, and, as. the same was ready for the printer, the entire matter had to be edited and cut down, many important items having to be omitted entirely, while the balance is lacking in many respects the very important things that the reading public naturally expect in a report of this character, and particularly a report covering the two strenuous years that Colorado has passed through, but the material facts will be found, although not as fully treated as they should be.

Excerpt from Third Biennial Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Colorado, 1891-1892 The fact that Colorado's prosperity is not centralized in one locality, but exists in general, affords employment in various portions of the State when the supply exceeds the demand in one locality. In the larger cities of the State, building activity attracts large numbers of carpenters, bricklayers and other building tradesmen, many of whom secure employment during the busy season. However, when building operations are suspended, during certain periods of the year, it forces a large number of men into involuntary idleness. Another cause of the presence of so many unemployed men upon the streets of the larger cities of the State, dur ing the winter, is due to the fact that when wage-earners in the mountains and elsewhere become disengaged, they flock to Denver or Pueblo in search of other employment. While some are successful, many are not, and this in creases the periodical idleness. Idleness is, doubtless, one of the broadest avenues to crime; and if the demand for labor was equal to the supply at all periods of the year, there would be no further need of building new cell-houses in the State penitentiary. Charity seems to frown upon an able-bodied man who is out of employment. If he is crippled, frequently a benevolent response is made to an appeal for aid; but an idle man, of physical splendor, does not seem to melt the human heart so readily.
