Sandia National Laboratories reported a record economic contribution of more than $5.2 billion in 2025, marking the 17th consecutive year of growth, according to its latest economic impact report. The laboratory remains one of New Mexico’s largest employers and continues to play a significant role in the state’s economy.
“Sandia has been a strong part of New Mexico’s economy for more than 75 years,” said Labs Director Laura McGill. “We are extremely proud of our contributions, which extend beyond the economy and include giving back to our community through financial donations and volunteer time. We are neighbors that are invested in making this an even greater place to live.”
A news conference discussing Sandia’s annual economic impact is scheduled for January 9, 2026, at the Center for Global Security and Cooperation in Albuquerque. Labs Director Laura McGill will present details from the report and answer questions from attendees.
Those interested in attending must RSVP by January 7 by contacting Kim Quintana at kdquint@sandia.gov or calling 505-537-3294.
