There's a lot to like about Farmington, New Mexico. With a nice airport, rugged scenery in the Four Corners region, and a population of 46,000, it is a nice place to visit. But some of the city's residents are having a difficult time these days. The official unemployment rate in August was 10.4 percent.
Last week a Rally for Jobs was held in Farmington, giving residents the chance to tell their officials at the local, state and federal level about the importance of jobs.
Rallies for Jobs were held in five states in early September. More information is available here.
