Maybe it depends on how it’s measured, but I’m not sure about the largest employer claim. I found this list: https://www.careeronestop.org/Toolkit/Jobs/find-largest-empl...

Is your count perhaps including all the businesses in the airport?

Opened in 1995, DEN currently serves 25 different airlines offering non-stop service to over 215 destinations throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia; it was the fourth airport in the U.S. to exceed 200 destinations.[11] The airport is a major hub for United Airlines and is the largest operating base for both Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines.[12] With over 35,000 employees, the airport is the largest employer in Colorado. The airport is located on the western edge of the Great Plains and within sight of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.
