Management Occupations
Across the 32 of this group's 37 occupations with published Colorado employment, 155,350 Coloradans work in management occupations (5 more occupations have no published Colorado estimate, so the true total is somewhat higher). Weighted by those published jobs, the group's mean exposure score is 43.6 of 100, and 47.1% of the jobs are in occupations where most or a large minority of tasks overlap with AI capabilities assessed in 2023.

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.

| Broomfield | 9.4% | 3,836 | Partially imputed estimate |
| Boulder | 8.9% | 17,005 | Full |
