Reading a New Mexico lot
66 establishments employ 5,725 people in New Mexico, about 87 each against 82 for the fifty states. It is one of the smaller warehousing states, so a lot here is rarely one of many on the same road. Big sites tend to mean whole-stock lots.
New Mexico has 1.1 food manufacturing jobs for every warehousing job, against 0.9 across the fifty states. Plants outweigh the warehouses that serve them, which favours clean decks and stocks rotated on a schedule. Among the other industries counted here, pharmaceutical manufacturing (839 jobs) is 84 times the size of auto parts (10).
Doña Ana County holds 7.2% of New Mexico's warehousing jobs, and the top 2 listed hold 7.5%. The jobs are spread across the state, so no one county sets the route. None of the metros in the dossier sits inside New Mexico, so a lot is read by its ZIP.
The October 2025 USDA table used here gives no separate figure for New Mexico, so cold-chain lots are read on their photos and what they carried.
