The Garrity Perception Survey

While everyone knows the answer to the New Mexico’s official state question (Christmas), how do people feel about the industry that provides us red and green chile? Oil and gas tax and royalty contributions account for more than 20 percent of New Mexico’s general fund revenues, but does the industry have a favorable impression in our state? Where professions and people are raised – do we trust our pastor or priest more than our physician? How much do we trust family, relatives and friends? Do New Mexico residents have more trust in lawyers or journalists? The answers to these questions help shape communication strategies for our clients.
