DENVER (AP) — Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler says business filings were up in the last quarter of 2012.

Gessler says that bodes well for sustained employment growth continuing well into this year.

The information was included in a Quarterly Business and Economic Indicators report released Wednesday by the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder.
