The New Mexico Dept. of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS), formerly the New Mexico Dept. of Labor, and the U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), publish quarterly reports of covered employment and wages. Data from 1990 to 2000, from the NMDWS, are classified according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Data from 2001 forward, published by the BLS, are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Because of changes in the classification system the two data sets are not completely comparable.
The Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) has taken the quarterly reports of covered employment and created annual time series for the state and each county in New Mexico. Select the links below for the time period you want.
