Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Biennial Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Colorado, 1891-1892 The fact that Colorado's prosperity is not centralized in one locality, but exists in general, affords employment in various portions of the State when the supply exceeds the demand in one locality. In the larger cities of the State, building activity attracts large numbers of carpenters, bricklayers and other building tradesmen, many of whom secure employment during the busy season. However, when building operations are suspended, during certain periods of the year, it forces a large number of men into involuntary idleness. Another cause of the presence of so many unemployed men upon the streets of the larger cities of the State, dur ing the winter, is due to the fact that when wage-earners in the mountains and elsewhere become disengaged, they flock to Denver or Pueblo in search of other employment. While some are successful, many are not, and this in creases the periodical idleness. Idleness is, doubtless, one of the broadest avenues to crime; and if the demand for labor was equal to the supply at all periods of the year, there would be no further need of building new cell-houses in the State penitentiary. Charity seems to frown upon an able-bodied man who is out of employment. If he is crippled, frequently a benevolent response is made to an appeal for aid; but an idle man, of physical splendor, does not seem to melt the human heart so readily.
