WE’RE NEIGHBORING STATES, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO JOBS, NEW MEXICO AND COLORADO ARE FAR APART. NEW NUMBERS RELEASED BY THE U-S DEPARTMENT OF LABOR LAST FRIDAY SHOW NEW MEXICO HAD THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THE NATION IN MARCH AT 6.7 PERCENT. COLORADO, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAD THE LOWEST RATE AT 2.6 PERCENT.
NEW MEXICO HAS NOW HAD THE HIGHEST JOBLESS RATE IN THE NATION FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS.
