70% Of Colorado Workers Have Called Out Sick For This Strange Reason

Using your sick days is important. You earn one hour of paid time off for every 30 hours you work in Colorado.

Have you noticed that people are taking more sick days? You are not the only one. Since the pandemic, workers in Colorado have taken 45% more sick days.

I am not saying that taking sick leave is bad. Sick days are necessary and everybody should use sick time when needed.

When it comes to taking time off of work for major sporting events Colorado had the second-highest rate in the nation.

Utah had the most. This is strange because we have more professional sports than they do.

Since the Denver Nuggets have been so great the past couple of years we could imagine that many of us have taken time off to celebrate their big wins.

Can We Talk About the Super Bowl?

I have two solutions.

• Move the Super Bowl to Saturday.
• Make Monday a federal holiday and everybody gets to stay home.
