ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – You’ve probably already noticed a “dip” at the pump, as gas prices have been coming down in New Mexico over the last few weeks. But with prices still hovering around $4 a gallon, higher food costs and shifting interest rates, just about everything seems to be costing more these days.
When might we see a change for the better? Is this the time to re-think your commute, or ask for a raise from your employer? This week on the podcast, Gabby and Chris talk about the state of the New Mexico economy and where things might be headed.
University of New Mexico Professor Janie Chermak offers her take on the situation. She’s been on the faculty since 1995, and currently serves as the Department of Economics Chair, with research focusing on Natural Resources and Energy Economics.
