New Mexico Jobless Rate Drops To 6.4 Percent

   New Mexico's unemployment rate is down as the state continues to add jobs.

The state Department of Workforce Solutions reported Friday that the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November was 6.4 percent.

That's down from 6.5 percent in October and down from 6.7 percent in November 2013.

The department says the state's economy added 14,100 jobs during the year between November 2014 and November 2013, making it the greatest year-over-year monthly increase since the Great Recession.
