Abstract
This report documents economic, demographic, and labor‑force conditions in Santa Fe before the city’s living wage ordinance took effect, analyzing wage structures, industry dynamics, poverty, housing affordability, and the experiences of low‑wage workers. It serves as a benchmark for assessing how the ordinance may influence employment, business operations, household well‑being, and broader economic trends.
