I can tell you that Fidelity definitely has longterm plans to stay in Albuquerque. They are moving a LOT of operations from expensive Massachusetts here to ABQ and the facility they are building in Mesa Del Sol.
Wow, I'm hoping I can move to ABQ. The only IT job on that particular list is a Systems Analyst? When I graduate in December with my B.S in Information iTechnology, I was hoping to find a good entry level job (though I have 3 years of part-time experience with my focus area), but other threads hint that IT jobs are scarce there and was hoping when I clicked on the link they would have a few.
I was just wondering what the job market is like in ABQ? My husband works in imaging, graphics, IT work and freelances as an audio engineer. I work with children and freelance write. Also, what are some law firms out there? My husband currently works at a major law firm here in NY doing IT work for them. We'd really like to move there but are concerned about job prospects. We have both been to ABQ but YEARS ago and loved it, so we'd like some feedback. We'd also like to know which areas of ABQ are the best areas to live in. We are both in our 30's and looking for an area that is close enough to the city but not quiet, clean, safe.
I've read articles from a couple different business publications that ABQ's economy is doing really well compared to the rest of the country and the future forecast is strong. I'm currently unemployed after a lay-off and am looking to relocate preferably in the west. However, a number of the ABQ posts complain about the lack of decent employment and the low pay. I'm willing to take a pay cut (sun tax) to live somewhere nice (I don't have kids), but I do need to be employed with benefits eventually (I'm an editor/writer, so freelance is always an option, but not for the long haul). I'm also open to a career change at this point.
The reality is we are in trouble here in NM. The rest of this year is bleak and from what I know the gov and private sector monies will be very soft for all of next year. Many people are looking for work and dependent on UI extensions to survive. Many people are being added to the unemployment roles on a weekly basis.
State and local governments have not been impacted by layoffs much yet but there day is coming quick. Layoffs are inevitable.

I agree.
New Mexico did not have a "boom" economy so was not as badly hit by the loss
of easily shed, "surplus economy" jobs, the first to go. Now that serious budget
cuts, private and public, are becoming increasingly inevitable, the job situation
will only become worse as cuts will come closer to the bone.
