Joining the Colorado Leadership Stories podcast is Elizabeth Garner, the Colorado state demographer. We explore Elizabeth’s childhood in Colorado and her path to becoming an economist who leads an important state office. We talk at length about Elizabeth’s work to produce population and economic forecasts that serve many purposes for local governments and organizations. With more than 25 years of experience, Elizabeth discusses her current research that focuses on Colorado’s aging population and migration flows. Discover the answers to questions like, “Do we need to grow?” and learn about common misinformation related to the Centennial State’s current and future population trends.
