Martinez has been in office since 2011. How does New Mexico's standing in terms of unemployment, people on food stamps, etc. now compare to what she inherited?
Unemployment is down slightly, but, at the same time, many have stopped looking, or the jobs that are out there are low-paying, part-time work versus the full-time or better-paying jobs that were there before the collapse in 07-08. Welfare is up across the board, with nearly more than 1 in 5 residents getting some type of assistance. That's right, 1 in 5. It's around 21%^, just for welfare/SNAP. That's not including housing, obamaphones, et cetera...
