THIS WEEK on "Report from Santa Fe" - Bill McCAMLEY Cabinet Secretary for the N.M. Department of Workforce Solutions. McCamley explains new laws passed in the recent N.M. legislative session that affect the state’s labor market, such as the “Ban the Box” bill and the domestic worker minimum wage. He highlights upcoming job fairs and outlines ways his department can help New Mexicans get good jobs. Detailing the progress and programs for labor and employment in New Mexico, McCamley describes some of the state's job skill gaps in health care, education, and the STEM professions, and how they are being addressed. McCamley reports that the U.S. Dept. of Labor just gave our state $815,000 in a federal grant to boost the NMDWS Apprenticeship programs, with the goal of increasing the total number of apprentices by 25% and increasing access to middle-to-high-skilled jobs after those apprentices have completed the new programs. Workforce Solutions will focus on the health care and hospitality industries, which contain nearly 60% of all projected N.M. employment growth, more than 30,000 jobs over the next 8 years. More
