A recent special report from a New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions economist says the state's median wage last year was the eighth-lowest in the nation. 

The report, released at the end of May in a labor market review, said the state's median wage for all occupations last year was $43,620 a year, which is $4,400 less than the nationwide median wage of $48,060.

The report, which didn't release a median wage for each state, did note that the state/area with the highest median wage was Washington, D.C., at $84,450. The lowest was Mississippi at $37,500.
