NEW MEXICO CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT. WHILE THE STATE’S JOBLESS RATE FELL SLIGHTLY LAST MONTH TO 6.3 PERCENT, THAT WAS STILL THE SECOND HIGHEST RATE IN THE COUNTRY.
IT’S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY FOR OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH. COLORADO’S JULY UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS ONLY 2.4 PERCENT…SECOND LOWEST IN THE U-S. ALASKA HAS THE HIGHEST JOBLESS RATE AT 7-PERCENT.
