The minimum wage commission of Mexico agreed Tuesday, December 18th, to hike the current minimum salaries by 3.9% nationwide. While the raise may seem like an improvement, it is less than the 4.2% increase last year and less than the current 4.2% inflation rate.
Mexico has numerous variations on its minimum wages depending on location and profession. All of Baja California and Baja California Sur fall into the highest paid Zone-A. Non-professional workers will earn slightly less than 65 pesos a day in 2013, which is equivalent to about $5.10 in the United States.
Mexico’s minimum wage has lagged behind market levels for years. However, a large portion of the country is paid above the minimum wage and many others work outside of the formal business force, where they potentially earn more.
