Abstract
The report documents that July 1961 marked the strongest business activity of the year, though unemployment remained elevated and construction continued to lag. A featured economic analysis explains New Mexico’s 1960–61 slump as primarily driven by a sharp downturn in construction rather than structural weakness in the state’s core industries such as mining, agriculture, timber, and federal‑sector employment.
