Social Security: 2008 Colorado Quick Facts[14]

• Social Security is the only source of income for one in four Coloradans age 65+.

• Social Security lifts nearly half of Coloradan retirees from poverty; 43% of the state’s population would have incomes below the poverty line if they did not receive Social Security.

• Social Security pumps over $6 billion into Colorado’s economy; the average yearly benefit for a Colorado retiree in 2006 was $12,002 or about $1,000 a month.

(1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers.

(2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a “year-round, full-time” hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.

(3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.
