| Albuquerque, June 20—The May unemployment rates are out, and New Mexico remains dead last among the 50 states. New Mexico’s jobless rate stands at 5.1%, while the national average stands at 3.6% The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce on the latest May numbers: “It’s no surprise that New Mexico has the worst unemployment rate in the country. Gov. Lujan Grisham is not a job creator, and she has failed to jump-start our economy during her weak tenure. We cannot grow or expect to be competitive under Lujan Grisham’s poor gubernatorial leadership. Thousands of New Mexicans remain jobless because of this governor’s illogical and impulsive COVID orders, and it may take years to recover. She shattered our business community, and she has no short or long-term plan to get people back to work.” |
