ALBUQUERQUE IS STILL LOSING JOBS. THAT WAS THE CASE FROM MARCH OF LAST YEAR TO MARCH OF THIS YEAR. FEDERAL LABOR STATS SHOW THE AREA LOST 14-HUNDRED JOBS … A 4-TENTHS-OF-A-PERCENT DROP DURING THOSE 12 MONTHS. BUT THE JOBLESS RATE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA DROPPED OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD FROM 7-POINT-4 PERCENT TO 7-POINT-1 PERCENT.
PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT IN SANTA FE GREW 2-TENTHS OF A PERCENT OVER THE SAME 12 MONTH PERIOD. FARMINGTON SAW A 1-POINT-4 PERCENT DECLINE IN JOBS.
