Abstract	A profile of Colorado is provided, which examines trends in the state's economy, environment, population, crime, and education. The state is characterized by a lack of economic diversity, ecological vulnerability, and concentrated population. Although the work force is generally well educated, Hispanic Americans tend to be less successful in business and education than Whites. Economic recovery is predicted as business and technological services increase; however, the state continues to depend heavily on agriculture, minerals, and energy extraction. Recommendations are made to establish programs for Hispanic educational success; implement "pay-as-you-go" educational financing; encourage small minority-owned businesses; provide economic equity for all regions; and develop local educational initiatives. Six tables and three figures are included. (9 references) (LMI)
