PrefaceThe New Mexico Annual Social and Economics Indicators (ASEI) report is published by the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) Bureau of Economic Research and Analysis prior to the beginning of each program year (July 1) and revised annually. This report is intended to provide planners and other data users with a broad range of information on historic, current, and expected labor market conditions in New Mexico.
Much of the information contained in this report is available in greater detail from the NMDWS Bureau of Economic Research and Analysis. Bureau operational programs are listed on page 76; a selection of labor market publications on pages 77 and 78; and a glossary of terms and acronyms on pages 79 and 80.
The Governor of New Mexico is required by federal regulation to designate "an organizational unit to be responsible for oversight and management of a statewide comprehensive labor market and occupational supply and demand information system." NMDWS was assigned this role through executive order. The ASEI is one of several publications produced by NMDWS to meet the information system designation.
Data and Program Reporting Areas
New Mexico Annual Social and Economic Indicators provides information by state, county, city, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and/or Workforce Investment Act Area (WIA).
An MSA, as designated by the federal Office of Management and Budget, refers to a large population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that nucleus. There are four MSAs in New Mexico: Albuquerque MSA, composed of Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance, and Valencia counties; Farmington MSA, identical to San Juan County; Las Cruces MSA, identical to Doña Ana County; and Santa Fe MSA, identical to Santa Fe County.
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 ensures that Americans have the training they need to qualify for good jobs and to successfully manage their careers. The intent of the Act is to streamline services by consolidating more than 60 federal training programs through three block grants to the states: Adult Employment and Training, Disadvantaged Youth Employment and Training, and Adult Education and Literacy grants. Funding and decision-making authority is transferred from the federal level to states and local areas. Local Workforce Development Area Boards select a One-Stop Center that offers services to the public. New Mexico is divided into four Workforce Investment Act Service Delivery Areas, each with its own local board.

Population
According to the 2010 Census, New Mexico’s population was 2,059,180. This was an increase of 240,134 (13.2 percent) since the 2000 Census, making New Mexico the 15th fastest growing state in the nation. The population of the entire United States grew by 9.7 percent since July 1, 2000, for a total count of 308.7 million people. New Mexico's population as of July 1, 2013 was 2,085,287 representing a 1.3 percent increase from 2010.
Census 2010 results confirmed the continuation of historic trends in the state’s population distribution. The most noticeable of these trends is the concentration of the state’s population in metropolitan counties along the central Rio Grande corridor. Over 65 percent of the state’s population lived in one of the seven counties designated as metropolitan by the Census Bureau—Bernalillo, Doña Ana, San Juan, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Torrance, and Valencia.
The Albuquerque MSA, the largest in the state, has had over 21 percent growth since 2000. Albuquerque’s core incorporated area in Bernalillo County had growth of 19.1 percent from 2000 to 2010, which is higher than the overall statewide growth rate. Bernalillo County’s dominance in the Albuquerque area is lessening as the population grows more rapidly in surrounding communities. The population of Sandoval County increased by 45.3 percent, making it the fastest growing county in the state. The growth was concentrated along Sandoval County’s borders with Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties.
Between 2000 and 2010, some non-metro counties grew rapidly while other counties lost population. Lea County grew by 16.6 percent, followed by Roosevelt (10.1 percent), Taos County (9.9 percent), and Union County (8.6 percent). Quay County lost 10.4 percent of its population. Harding and Hidalgo counties followed Quay, with population declines of 13.9 percent and 17.5 percent, respectively.
According to 2013 Census estimates, all of the population growth resulted from natural increase. Natural increase is when there are more births than deaths. The state experienced a negative net migration, indicating that more people were moving from the state than to the state. The state had over 9,500 more people move from the state than move to the state between 2010 and 2013. The 2000 Census added a new dimension to the race question by allowing responses that include multiple races. The 2010 Census continued with this method, although the phrasing of questions did change some. A total of 63 racial combinations are possible, doubling to 126 combinations if Hispanic origin is also considered. This change makes race comparisons with previous census counts problematic. For all races, the maximum value is a count of responses rather than people, with it being possible for individuals to select from one to six responses to the race question.
The tables on pages 9 through 12 present information on race for New Mexico's population. In the table on page 9, the totals add to more than the population of the state because the maximum value counts responses rather than people. The table on page 10 shows the most recent 10-year Census comparisons of race categories, now directly comparable for those identifying themselves as two or more races. The table on pages 11-12 shows the population range in New Mexico for each racial group. There is no one best approach to accurately classify the population of New Mexico, short of looking at the rather cumbersome 126 possible classifications. For this reason, we follow the guidance from the Census Bureau and present the range of values. The best and most appropriate number to use depends upon the question that is being answered with the data.

Table 3. Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population by Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for New Mexico: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2010 (ST-EST2010-03-35)
http://www.census.gov/popest/data/intercensal/state/ST-EST00INT-03.html
Notes: The April 1, 2000 Population Estimates base reflects changes to the Census 2000 population from the Count Question Resolution program and geographic program revisions. The original race data from Census 2000 are modified to reclassify the Some Other Race category. For more information see http://www.census.gov/popest/archives/files/MRSF-01-US1.html. The values for July 1, 2010 were produced by applying estimates of change in the population between April 1 and July 1 of 2010 to the 2010 Census counts. Further details on this methodology are available at http://www.census.gov/popest/methodology/intercensal_nat_meth.pdf. Hispanic origin is considered an ethnicity, not a race. Hispanics may be of any race. Abbreviations: Black = Black or African American; AIAN = American Indian and Alaska Native; NHPI = Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.

Labor Surplus Areas
October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014
Definition:
A civil jurisdiction (city with population of at least 25,000 or any county) is classified as a labor surplus area
when its average unemployment rate was at least 20 percent above the average unemployment rate for all
states (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) during the previous two calendar years. During
periods of high national unemployment, the 20 percent ratio is disregarded and an area is classified as a
labor surplus area if its unemployment rate during the previous two calendar years was 10 percent or
more. This 10 percent ceiling concept comes into operation whenever the two-year average
unemployment rate for all states was 8.3 percent or above (i.e., 8.3 percent times the 1.20 ratio equals
10.0 percent). Similarly, a floor concept of 6.0 percent is used during periods of low national
unemployment in order for an area to qualify as a labor surplus area. The 6 percent floor comes into effect
whenever the average unemployment rate for all states during the two-year reference period was 5.0
percent or less.
Purpose:
Employers located in labor surplus areas, as classified by the U.S. Department of Labor, can be given
preference in bidding of Federal procurement contracts. The purpose in providing such preference is to
help direct the government's procurement dollars into areas where people are in the most severe need.
The annual list of Labor Surplus Areas is effective every October. The following is a list of the civil
jurisdictions in the state of New Mexico that have been named Labor Surplus Areas:
Revised: April 2014
Income
Personal income, an indicator produced by the U.S. Department of Commerce, is a major index of
economic well-being and is broadly defined as the current income received by residents of an area
from all sources. The components of personal income are net earnings (adjusted for residence),
transfer payments, dividends, interest, and rent. Per capita income is average income per person
and is calculated by dividing total personal income by the resident population.
In comparison to other states, New Mexico continues to rank low in terms of per capita income,
despite growth in this area. New Mexico's 2013 per capita income of $36,284 was approximately
81% of the national figure of $44,543 and ranked 44th of the 50 states and D.C. The rapid growth of
the New Mexico population makes progress in per capita income an uphill struggle, since such
growth in population would require even faster personal income growth to improve the state's
standing.
Annual average pay is calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics from
reports filed by employers under the Unemployment Insurance program. Annual average pay is
computed by dividing total annual payrolls of employees covered by the Unemployment Insurance
program by average monthly employment for these employees. Hourly average (mean) is computed
by taking the annual number and dividing it by 2,080 (standard working hours in a year).
In 2013, the average wage of $41,470 was greater than the median, indicating that more individuals
fell below the average. More than half of New Mexico's population earned an annual income of less
than $31,490.
Price inflation reduces the purchasing power of personal income. The Consumer Price Index (CPI)
is a measure of inflation, and is produced monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor. The CPI is
based on the cost of a market basket of goods and services purchased by a typical consumer. The
cost of the market basket of goods in the current month is divided by the cost of the same market
basket in the base year to yield an index figure. The CPI table lists the CPI for two population
groups: All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Urban Wage and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).

Poverty
Official Census Bureau poverty data is collected with the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Demographic Supplement. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is poor. The different family compositions consist of two parents, one parent, and other guardians. If a family's total income is less than that family's threshold, then that family and every individual in it is considered poor. The poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition counts money income before taxes and does not include capital gains and noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and SNAP payments). Poverty is not defined for people in military barracks, institutional group quarters (such as college dormitories), or for unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children). They are excluded from the poverty universe and considered neither as "poor" nor as "nonpoor." The following page indicates the current (2013) Poverty Thresholds.
While the thresholds in some sense represent families' needs, the official poverty measure should be interpreted as a statistical yardstick rather than as a complete description of what people and families need to live. Many of the government's aid programs use different income amounts as eligibility criteria in addition to programmatic time limitations.
The official measure of poverty is based upon the Current Population Survey (CPS), which produces intercensal estimates. The CPS is model-based and the county estimates from it are subject to a relatively high degree of sampling error (which is considered in the data produced). The following tables and graphs show estimates based upon surveys associated with the 2010 Census. For a full discussion on the differences between the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimate (SAIPE), which is based on the CPS, and the Census Estimate, please see the frequently asked questions page at http://www.census.gov/did/www/saipe/about/faq.html.
Estimates and even definitions of poverty are contentious subjects, and it is best to use a number of measures to determine needs of small areas. Also included in this section are tables showing the number of people receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamps Program) in New Mexico by county, poverty by educational district, and poverty characteristics.

Education
A post-secondary degree continues to be of great benefit to today's employees: the unemployment level for college graduates is lower than it is for those without degrees, the market for degreed employees continues to grow even during downturns, and the compensation for a degreed worker is on average nearly twice that of the non-degreed worker. Degreed workers are in greater demand because of the increased use of technology in the workplace, the shift from goods-producing to service-providing industries, and the new work philosophy in which decisions are made closer to the front line.
Census Bureau 2012 estimates indicate that the percentage of New Mexico's population over 25 that has graduated from high school and population over 25 that has received bachelor's degrees have increased 8.6 and 5.3 percentage points, respectively, since 1990.
As the educational requirements of the job market continue to increase with time, high school dropouts are of special concern. Dropouts lack the basic education required by most employers, and as such are more likely to be unemployed, not participate in the labor force, or, without special training, be channeled into very low-paying jobs.

Revised: April 2014
Notes: The percentage of high school graduates is based upon the projection of high school graduates in 2002, 2011 and 2012 by the Western
Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), and the number of students in the class of 2002, 2011 and 2012 who took the SAT in each
state. The projection of high school graduates by WICHE can be found in Knocking at the College Door: Projections of High School Graduates by
State and Race/Ethnicity, 1992-2022, WICHE, March 2008.
Mean SAT scores are not appropriate for state comparisons because the percentage of graduates taking the SAT varies widely across states. In
some states, a very small percentage of the college-bound seniors take the SAT. Typically, these students have strong academic backgrounds and
are applicants to the nation’s most selective colleges and scholarship programs. Therefore, it is expected that the SAT critical reading, mathematics
and writing averages reported for these states will be higher than the national average. In states where a greater proportion of students with a wide
range of academic backgrounds take the SAT, the scores are closer to, or below, the national average.
Revised: January 2014
Quality of Life
Quality of life indicators are defined by community leaders, municipalities, government
agencies, nonprofits, and other entities seeking to capture a broader sense of the community
well-being outside the scope of conventional economic indicators such as employment
statistics and per capita income. These indicators allow for the framing of issues and policy
concerns surrounding communities, and the data provides for the measurement and estimation
of degrees of health and well-being. Selected statistics can address a range of topics,
including the environment, safety, health, and housing, and can be used to monitor general
concern or a specific issue.
Transport and mobility behavior data are useful indicators when evaluating the demands on
local and urban areas. On average, New Mexicans spend less time commuting to work each
day than do people in most of our neighboring states, and New Mexico is ranked 32nd among
all states for public transportation usage.
The state of current housing conditions, including affordability and availability, is a key
dimension to evaluating quality of life in a specific area or community. While the median home
value in New Mexico ranks in the lower half, the state's homeownership rate is higher than both
the national average and those of the surrounding states. New Mexico leads the region and
ranks third in the nation for lowest per capita property tax collection.
Also included in this section are tables summarizing median population age, voter participation,
health care, and public safety data. The following tables are provided, in addition to the
previous labor market, income, poverty, and education statistics sections, as some selected
quality of life indicators. Other possible dimensions, such as energy, environmental,
recreation, and human rights data, can also be used to determine what constitutes "quality of
life" and well-being of a community.

Operational Programs
The Economic Research and Analysis Bureau (ER&A) is responsible for the collection, development, analysis, and publication of labor market information for New Mexico and its various substate areas. The Bureau operates five statistical programs under contract with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Bureau is organized as follows:
CURRENT EMPLOYMENT STATISTICS AND QUARTERLY CENSUS OF EMPLOYMENT AND WAGESThis unit operates a federal/state cooperative statistical program called Current Employment Statistics (CES). Using a monthly employer survey, estimates of nonagricultural payroll employment by industry are derived for Statewide New Mexico and the Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, and Farmington Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Estimates of earnings and hours of work are also derived for some industries and areas. This section is also responsible for a federal/state cooperative statistical program called the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW, formerly ES-202). Using administrative data from state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) programs, the QCEW program produces employment, wage, and UI contribution totals by industry. Output from this program is used in producing economic measures such as Gross Domestic Product and personal income.
LOCAL AREA UNEMPLOYMENT STATISTICSThis unit conducts a federal/state cooperative statistical program called Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS). The LAUS program produces estimates of the monthly labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate for Statewide New Mexico and substate areas. It also tracks local unemployment trends within New Mexico for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Labor Surplus Program which gives priority to high unemployment area businesses when bidding for federal government procurement contracts. The Mass Layoffs Statistics program is also conducted by this unit.
OCCUPATIONAL INFORMATION AND PLANNINGThis organizational unit operates a federal/state statistical program called Occupational Employment Statistics (OES). The OES program produces occupational staffing pattern estimates by industry by means of a semi-annual survey with approximately 3,500 employers sampled in each panel. This unit develops long-range occupational employment forecasts through the use of staffing pattern data from the OES program. The unit is responsible for providing planning information for placement, counseling, education, and job training. Wage Information-Estimate Delivery System contains the confidential OES occupation and wage information collected from employers. Job seekers and employers can utilize this information to anticipate what an occupation pays in a given area based on experience.
DATA ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATIONSThis unit is responsible for producing the New Mexico Labor Market Review, a monthly labor market information newsletter, and the monthly Employment News Release. Additionally, the unit is responsible for coordinating the production and dissemination of economic data and career information through reports, exhibits, conferences, and workshops. The unit maintains the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions Labor Market Information website and LASER (Labor Analysis, Statistics, and Economic Research), and produces a broad

Glossary
ANNUAL AVERAGE PAY
Annual average pay is computed by dividing total annual payrolls of employees covered by unemployment
insurance programs by average monthly employment for these employees.
CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE
The “Civilian Labor Force” is the total labor force, excluding persons in the Armed Forces. Most published data,
including national and state estimates, pertain to the Civilian Labor Force.
EMPLOYED
Employed persons are those individuals, 16 years of age and older, who did any work at all during the survey
week as paid employees, or in their own business, profession or farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as
unpaid workers in a family operated business. Also counted as employed are those persons who had jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-
management dispute, or personal reasons. Individuals are counted only once even though they may hold more
than one job. Employment figures relate to place of residence, and not to place of work.
ESTIMATE
An estimate is an approximate figure arrived at by following specified procedures, thoughtful consideration of
facts and/or approximate calculations. It does not imply an exact figure and may be subject to change or revision
as additional facts or techniques become available. Estimates based on early sample returns or heavily upon the
judgment of an analyst due to the fact that numerous facts are as yet unavailable are identified as Preliminary
Estimates.
LABOR AREA
A labor area is a geographical area consisting of a central city community or communities in which there is a
concentration of economic activity and in which workers can generally change jobs without changing their
residence. Basic emphasis is on the relationship between the worker’s place of residence and place of work.
Each New Mexico county is considered as a separate labor area except Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and
Valencia counties, which make up the Albuquerque MSA.
LABOR FORCE
The term “labor force” usually refers to an estimate of the number of persons, 16 years of age and older,
classified as “Employed” or “Unemployed.”
LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE
The number of persons in the labor force as a percent of the total population 16 years of age and older.
METROPOLITAN AREA
Urban places of 50,000 or more population are metropolitan areas as defined by the Census of Population. All
jurisdictions within the MSA, regardless of size, are considered metropolitan areas.
METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA (MSA)
The general concept of the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is one of a large population nucleus together with
adjacent communities which have a high degree of economic and social integration with that nucleus.
Specifically, an area must either have a city with a population of at least 50,000 or it must have an urbanized area
of at least 50,000 and a total county (or multi-county) population of at least 100,000. New Mexico has four MSAs;
Albuquerque MSA, Farmington MSA, Las Cruces MSA, and Santa Fe MSA.
Revised: March 2014
UNEMPLOYED
Persons 16 years and over who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except
for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period
ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid
off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT (WIA)
WIA established programs to prepare youth and unskilled adults for entry into the labor force and to offer job
training to those economically disadvantaged individuals and other individuals facing serious barriers to
employment.
PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income is the current income received by residents of an area from all sources. It is measured after
deduction of personal contributions for social security, government retirement, and other social insurance
programs but before deductions of income and other personal taxes. It includes income received from foreign
governments. It consists of wage and salary disbursements, various types of supplementary earnings termed
“other labor income,” proprietors’ income, rental income, dividends, interest, and government and business
transfers.
POVERTY
The poverty concept is a statistical yardstick based on the Department of Agriculture’s 1961 Economy Food Plan
and reflects the different consumption requirements of families in relation to their size and composition, sex and
age of the family head and number of children under 18 years of age. It was discovered from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s 1955 Survey of Food Consumption that families of three or more persons spend
approximately one-third of their income on food; the poverty level was therefore set at three times the cost of the
Economy Food Plan. The level comes out once a year, late-February to early March. See
http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/14poverty.cfm to check for the most recent figures. The following represents 100% of
poverty.
POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINES - 2014
FAMILY SIZE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
INCOME LEVEL $11,670 15,730 19,790 23,850 27,910 31,970 36,030 40,090
SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP)
Provides low-income households with increased food purchasing power to enable them to obtain a more
adequate nutritional diet through a federal program regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The
electronic benefit card may be used in retail grocery outlets for food items.
TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF)
Formerly called Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), TANF provides financial assistance and
support services to families with children needing care or support due to death, absence, disability,
unemployment, or under employment of one or both parents.
PER CAPITA INCOME
Per capita personal income is the total personal income of residents divided by the resident population.
NONAGRICULTURAL WAGE AND SALARY EMPLOYMENT (JOBS)
Nonagricultural wage and salary jobs refers only to employees on establishment payrolls during the survey week
in each month and excludes self-employed, unpaid family workers, domestic workers, agricultural workers, and
workers involved in labor-management disputes. Nonagricultural wage and salary employment figures relate to
place of work of the workers and not to their place of residence. The payroll records may count a person more
than once to the extent that multiple job holding exists during the payroll period. In addition, the payroll data
includes commuters who live outside the labor area, but not commuters who work outside the area.
