As the dollar is continually devalued it seems as if the wages are low, where in fact the prices of all the commodities we have to buy have risen at a faster rate. We used to be able to buy a $6,000 car on $1.82 per hour wages.

Why are the wages so low in Mexico?

Wages in Mexico are low due to a combination of factors including a large labor supply, limited access to higher education and vocational training, and a high level of informal employment. Additionally, competition among workers for low-skilled jobs drives down wages. Economic policies, such as trade agreements and foreign investment practices, can also prioritize cost-cutting over wage increases, further contributing to the low wage environment.
