New Mexico’s Economy:
Current Situation and Outlook
New Mexico Current Economic Situation
o In 2019Q1, New Mexico added 11,000 jobs (1.4%), in line with 2018 growth.
o Nearly half of the jobs were in Eddy & Lea counties (5,250 jobs, 6.5%), tied to oil & gas.
o Metro areas (except Farmington) also added jobs, giving some balance.
o Preliminary CES data indicate faster growth in Q2 (1.7%) and Q3 (2.2%).
FOR-UNM is more cautious (1.5% and 1.6%).
o Total personal income playing catch up – +5.9% in Q2 (9th among states).
o State government recurring revenues +16.3% in FY19 (35% since FY17);
more than 60% of the increase is directly due to oil & gas boom.
o Yet, data indicates growth in oil production is slowing – Q2 up just 0.4% (QoQ).
o Next phase of the oil boom shifts from production to State government.
