Minimum wage is the lowest wage that an employer is legally required to pay to workers. The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions enforces the state and federal minimum wage. Please be advised that the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, the City of Las Cruces, the City of Santa Fe, and Santa Fe County currently enforce their own minimum wage. Businesses should be aware that the state will enforce the highest available rate.
