ABQ Among Strongest Performing Metros
Recession Hurting U.S. Cities At "Radically Varying Levels"
"The survey of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas ranks cities from strongest to weakest economic performance according to six "key indicators" -- employment, unemployment rates, wages, gross metropolitan product, housing prices, and foreclosure rates."

Somewhat related (but not worthy of a separate thread)....
We're #10 on the list of cities with stable or RISING pay rates, and it's NOT due to low paying job cuts/layoffs:

Wow, rybert - I just looked at your article and it looks like I left Tampa just in time

You forgot South Valley and the North Valley.
If South Valley was a city it would be the 3rd largest, after losing its spot as 2nd most populus. RIo Rancho passed it, and is now on its way to almost 90,000...
Las Cruces will soon also lose its spot as NM's 2nd City if it doesnt start growing and building faster.
