I'm in Denver, have been unemployed for lessee... 12 months. No fun.
Well, if I'm guessing right, you mean in northern, northwestern 
colorado, and there are no jobs there. If I'm wrong and you'd be
close to the Denver-Boulder-Longmont triangle, the job market is
bad, real bad. Lot's of R&D, branch offices, most of which are
not hiring or laying people off. I know that Colorado Springs
has jobs, I just think most of them are already filled. I have
no idea about Grand Junction.

Good luck,
