            	New employment numbers are out this morning from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, and the news is good: Colorado has now added jobs for three consecutive months for the first time in three years. According to a press release from Gov. <b>Bill Ritter's</b> office (full text after the jump):
<p><blockquote>In addition to the 3,800 jobs added in November, Colorado employers added 5,200 jobs in October and 3,300 jobs in September, for a three-month total of 12,300.
<p>At 8.6 percent, Colorado's unemployment rate remains well below the national average of 9.8 percent and is lower than rates in many other states.</blockquote>
<p>Economists and politicos can (and will) debate on the reasons behind the job growth in Colorado, but will Gov. Ritter's legacy be in part defined as a "Jobs Governor"? Take a look at the statement from <b>Tom Clark</b>, EVP of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., in today's press release:
<p><blockquote>"I think Bill Ritter in many respects may go down as the biggest economic development governor," said Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.</blockquote>
<p>Those are certainly strong words, and coming from the well-respected Clark, that statement will raise plenty of eyebrows. But it's hard to completely dispute the idea; with Colorado in better shape than much of the country in terms of unemployment numbers, the Governor has to get some of the credit...just as he would get much of the blame if the opposite were true. &nbsp;
