NEW MEXICO’S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS UNDER FIVE PERCENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST 10 YEARS. THE JOBLESS RATE IN JUNE WAS 4.9 PERCENT. THAT’S MORE THAN A FULL PERCENTAGE POINT BELOW WHERE IT WAS A YEAR AGO.
THE BAD NEWS IS, THAT’S STILL THE THIRD HIGHEST RATE IN THE NATION…AHEAD OF ONLY ALASKA AND WEST VIRGINIA.
