NEW MEXICO RANKS 45TH IN THE NATION FOR ECONOMIC DIVERSITY. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THAT’S FROM A STUDY BY THE STATE WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT.
ECONOMIC DIVERSITY IS CONSIDERED A SIGN OF A STATE’S BUSINESS HEALTH AND STABILITY. BUT DIVERSITY ISN’T ALWAYS A FACTOR IN A COMMUNITY’S ECONOMIC STABILITY. LOS ALAMOS COUNTY HAS THE LEAST DIVERSE ECONOMY IN NEW MEXICO … BUT HAS THE HIGHEST INCOMES AND 73-POINT-2 PERCENT EMPLOYMENT IN THE PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL SECTORS.
