Colorado Edition: Labor Intensive

On today’s episode of Colorado Edition, we’ll hear how the Biden administration is lending a hand to small businesses. Then, we learn how Colorado restaurant and tourism industries are responding to the shortage of workers. Plus, we dig into a new lawsuit challenging Major League Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star game to Denver. And, we talk to an organization that brings Israelis and Palestinians together to work on sustainable projects with a bent towards peace.

Today’s guests include: Bizwest reporter Lucas High; Sustainable Israeli Palestinian Projects (SIPP) president Peter Ornstein; and board member of SIPP and professor at CU Boulder, Bernard Amadei. This episode features reporting from KUNC economy reporter Matt Bloom.
