A tough place to earn a living
-
4/5/2010
Durango is a great placen to live and recreate, but wages are low, cost of living is high and the economy is almost entirely service, as in restaurants, and tourism. It is a college town which makes competition for entry level jobs steep. It tends towards a boom or bust economy with the booms coming when people from elsewhere feel wealthy enough to purchase a second home and the busts anytime the national economy goes sour.
