$69,420 Initiative


As residents of Colorado, USA, we urge the state government and relevant authorities to revise the minimum hiring range for IT professionals from $69,240 to $69,420. This slight adjustment will not only align with internet culture and humor but also reflect the growing significance of this industry in our state's economy.

IT professionals play a crucial role in driving innovation and technological advancements across various sectors. Their expertise is essential for businesses to thrive in today's digital age. However, the current minimum hiring range fails to acknowledge their valuable contributions adequately.

By raising the minimum hiring range to $69,420, we can embrace a lighthearted approach that resonates with both IT professionals and internet-savvy individuals. This change would not only attract more talented individuals into the field but also boost morale within existing IT communities.

While some may argue that this adjustment seems trivial or unimportant compared to other pressing issues facing our society today, it is crucial to recognize that humor plays a significant role in fostering positive work environments. Memes have become an integral part of modern culture and serve as a source of camaraderie among colleagues.

To support our petition further, let us consider some relevant facts:

  1. Economic Impact: The Information Technology industry contributes significantly to Colorado's economy. According to data from CompTIA (The Computing Technology Industry Association), Colorado's tech sector employed over 200,000 people in 2020 alone. (Source: CompTIA Cyberstates Report)
  2. Salary Trends: The average salary for an IT professional in Colorado exceeds $90,000 annually (according to Glassdoor). By adjusting the minimum hiring range closer towards this average figure while incorporating humor into it ($69,420), we can create an inclusive environment that acknowledges their skills while embracing contemporary culture.

  3. Cultural Relevance: Memes and internet humor have become a significant part of our daily lives, fostering connections and shared experiences. By adjusting the minimum hiring range to $69,420, we can tap into this cultural relevance and create a positive atmosphere within the IT industry.
We believe that this adjustment will not only attract top talent but also enhance job satisfaction among IT professionals in Colorado. It is time for our state to recognize the importance of humor in the workplace while embracing the economic significance of the Information Technology industry.
