New Mexico's tax credit for businesses that create high-wage jobs is at the center of a new report about tax policy gone wrong.
The report released by the Pew Center states the incentive cost the state $48 million last year, while in 2011, it only cost a little over 9-million.
The report states the extra cost to the state would have been a good sign if more jobs were created, but instead, the report states businesses realized they could claim up to $12,000 for jobs they created years prior to the tax credit's implementation.
