New Mexico Economic Outlook
Narrative Moving Forward
o For most of post-Recession, the state’s economic narrative has been driven by ‘external factors’ – oil boom & bust, Obamacare, even Intel job losses and uncertainty at national labs.
o In recent months, the state’s economic narrative is less about external factors – oil prices and production are relatively stable, the economic gains due to Obamacare are largely absorbed (and now the state is beginning to pay its share).
o How does the state economy move forward on its own?
New Mexico Economic Outlook: 2018-2022
o Improved outlook to stable job growth, slightly higher than labor force growth, allowing for gradual reduction in unemployment.
o Addition of 4,500 (0.6%) jobs in 2017Q4, closing the year +1,750 jobs (0.2%).
o Continued uptick in 2018 (6,900 jobs, 0.9%), and 8,725/year (1.1%) in 2019-2022. Job count to reach pre-recession high by end-2019.
o Income growth a drag on state’s economic growth through 2020. Most new jobs in relatively lower-wage sectors; lower expectations for growth of investment/proprietors’ incomes (from IHS Global Insight) and slow growth of federal transfers (e.g. Medicaid, SNAP, etc.)
o Oil production to increase gradually, given slightly weaker price outlook.
o Impacts of pessimistic (20%) greater than optimistic (15%) scenario.
