Colorado Tech Jobs Get Cloudy Outlook

One company is planning to cut more than 100 Colorado tech jobs and thousands of jobs throughout the country.

Computer technology company Sun Microsystems Inc. recently announced that it will cut hundreds of jobs in January 2010 at the company's Colorado facility as part of a national round of layoffs that will result in the loss of thousands of jobs.

The company, which is based in Santa Clara, Calif., submitted an advance notice of mass layoffs to state labor officials under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. According to an article by the San Francisco Business Times, mass layoffs are considered those in which 50 or more workers are let go within a 30-day period.
