Computer and Mathematical Occupations
Across the 20 of this group's 21 occupations with published Colorado employment, 135,990 Coloradans work in computer and mathematical occupations (one more occupation has no published Colorado estimate, so the true total is somewhat higher). Weighted by those published jobs, the group's mean exposure score is 54.3 of 100, and 68.1% of the jobs are in occupations where most or a large minority of tasks overlap with AI capabilities assessed in 2023.
Software Developers; Computer User Support Specialists; Computer Network Architects — the largest of this group's 21 occupations in Colorado.
Every statewide figure on this page is computed directly on published BLS OEWS Colorado state data — a different basis from the county estimates elsewhere on this site, which model occupation mixes from industry mix. The one county table below is labeled accordingly.

Where this work concentrates
The six counties where this group is the largest share of local jobs. These county figures are estimates — modeled from each county's industry mix, not published counts (how county estimates are built) — and a share of a small county's job base can rank above a metro county's much larger absolute employment.
| County | Est. share of county jobs | Est. group jobs | Data quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broomfield | 8.9% | 3,630 | Partially imputed estimate |
| Boulder | 7.9% | 15,184 | Full |
| Douglas | 5.7% | 8,574 | Full |
| Denver | 5.5% | 30,922 | Full |
| Arapahoe | 5.2% | 17,798 | Full |
| Crowley | 4.9% | 55 | Heavily imputed estimate |
