ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- As many states, including New Mexico, are dealing with a high unemployment rate, some states are looking at innovative ways to get people back to work.
Four states are paying people to get and keep a job.
Arizona, which is run by a Republican governor, announced that it will use federal money to pay people $2,000 to keep a full-time job for at least 10 weeks.
Connecticut s Democratic governor announced the state will give $1,000 to 10,000 people after they complete two months at a new job.
Oklahoma and Montana are also offering bonuses to people who begin working.
