How the New Mexico WIOA numbers are made

  • Programs: every program in the fields on this site that New Mexico approved for WIOA funding, from the US Department of Labor's file for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025).
  • People WIOA paid for: each program's count of people who trained there with a WIOA training account. Programs report it only from 3 people up, and some report nothing, so the totals are minimums.
  • Per 100,000 residents: approved programs divided by the Census Bureau's population estimate for July 1, 2024.2
  • Metro areas are the Census Bureau's; a program counts where its classes are held.

How reliable are the New Mexico figures?
