“Homegrown New Mexico companies are the backbone of our economy and communities all across our state. I am thrilled the state is able to support the growth of companies across such a diversity of economic sectors and even happier the salaries are competitive,” said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. “We’ve got to make sure workers in New Mexico can live here and set down roots while supporting community anchors like these local businesses. It’s the surest way to build our economy back better than ever before.”
“New Mexico’s Job Training program (JTIP) has proven to be an integral economic development tool to help local companies grow and expand,” Cabinet Secretary Keyes said. “These companies believe in New Mexico’s workforce. They want to invest in the state, and train employees for higher-paying jobs.”
