Important Job Creation Initiatives in New Century Economy Jobs Agenda Legislative Package
 

As New Mexico begins its next 100 years of statehood, the state faces challenging economic times. The development of a seven-point plan known as the New Century Jobs Agenda will help to improve New Mexico's competitiveness and help diversify the state's private-sector economy as we transition from a government-reliant economy to an entrepreneurial economy by investing in job creators, workers, infrastructure and rural communities.
 
The University of New Mexico and the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank estimate that New Mexico could lose 20,000 jobs in the next year because of federal budget cuts. The New Century Jobs Agenda lays out a plan that will help New Mexico ease the state's reliance on federal dollars.
 
The New Century Jobs Agenda was developed with recommendations from business, community and economic development leaders from every region of the state during the New Century Economy Jobs Summit. The summit also involved representatives from various industries, labor leaders, community activists and higher education professionals.
