NEW MEXICO MAY BE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO JOB CREATION. THAT FROM UNM ECONOMIST JEFF MITCHELL WHO TELLS 770 KKOB LANDING THE TESLA MOTORS BATTERY FACTORY WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE…BUT IT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO FOCUS ON SINGLE BIG EMPLOYERS.
MITCHELL SAYS WE SHOULD FOCUS ON BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS ALREADY HERE, WHO THE STATE MAY NOT BE SUPPORTING WELL ENOUGH. HE TELLS 770 KKOB NEW MEXICO HAS BUSINESSES WITH THE POTENTIAL TO GROW AND SERVE NATIONAL, NOT JUST LOCAL, MARKETS.
