New Mexico economy slows but outperforms regionally in Q3
The New Mexico economy grew 0.5 percent in the July to September quarter, helped by a 3.1 percent rise in government jobs including Indian casinos and resorts. Homeland security and defense added federal positions, while Los Alamos counts as state work. Health care home services drive service sector growth, with 2,500 new workers statewide. Economic forecasts predict 0.7 percent job growth in late 2002 to early 2003, then about 1.5 percent by late 2003, with slower government expansion and a tight state budget.
