Show Notes
New Mexicos Office of New Americans, a vital resource for immigrant workers, could become a permanent part of the states workforce department. The office, launched in 2024, has already supported over 400 businesses and helps immigrants navigate job shortages and shifting federal rules. Director Leonardo Castaneda advocates for more tools, such as job-specific English classes and skill recognition from other countries, to fill shortages in tough-to-staff areas. The bill is now with the governor, promising steadier support for this essential workforce.
