New Mexico in January had the largest unemployment rate increase in the nation according to the U.S. Labor Department, reports the Santa Fe New Mexican. Unemployment in New Mexico rose to 8.5 percent, a 22-year high, up from 8.2 percent in December, the paper reports. That three-point jump was the biggest of any state’s, the U.S. Labor Department said, but left New Mexico still below the national average of 9.7 percent, according to the New Mexican.

I can only guess it's probably even worse in the NE part of the state due to the low population density and lack of opportunities in general in that area.
