We voice our support for an increase in state funding for solowork job creation that would allow multiple programs to run for a minimum of three years. An increase in funding would allow interested communities such as ours to pursue the possibility of a solowork job creation program where it would otherwise be unfeasible.

We believe solowork to be a key component in growing our state and local economy and hope the state of New Mexico will realize its full potential in the years to come.

I know the power of bringing "outside"money into the community. Funding solowork-type projects can benefit rural areas and increase career opportunities for New Mexicans. I urge you to keep the solo worker funding in place and help to revitalize NM's economy.

As an organizer of one of the Soloworker pilot programs in Raton, I see the potential for this program being an effective tool for job creation outside of the ABQ-SFe corridor - particularly in rural towns like Raton.

The solowork initiative is an important step in bringing new opportunity to New Mexicans and helping the economy of our state. Please fully fund this program for at least three years.

Soloworks offers a unique opportunity to provide jobs to rural New Mexico. I believe this alternative is critical to the survival of rural communities.

I would like to see the EDD support the request for sustained funding for 3 years.
