1. The 4 percent increase in the minimum wage reaches 2 pesos to 2 cents a day. Members of the Broad Progressive Front rejected by "unworthy" notice of the authorities of the Ministry of Labour. He said that increased minimum wages will be in line with expected inflation for 2008, placing it at 3.8 percent. 2 weights on average than the official said not even enough to buy a sweet bread. According to INEGI, 5 million 273 thousand workers earn the minimum wages of 50 pesos a day to 8 million 660 thousand won from one to two newspapers. That is, 13 million 933 thousand people, representing 32.5 percent of the total economically active in Mexico, living on a subsistence wage system. According to the Faculty of Economics at UNAM, the cost of basic food basket recommended amounts to 100 pesos and 69 cents.

Today the minimum wage is 50 pesos (11 pesos U.S. dollars), or twice the minimum wage enough to the basket, except for the "normal requirements in the material, social and cultural."

I must say that in Mexico there has been a high unemployment that 40 percent of revenue come from informal work without benefits and bonus, medical, vacation or retirement. Those who have formal employment, which could be 60 percent of the labor force wages are less than a minimum, the minimum and a percentage of minimum and medium. Overall average: 50 pesos a day (4.5 dollars) to reach only half basket calculated at 100 pesos. But of course there is a small sector of workers in these conditions could be privileged workers with five to ten minimum wages and government officials ranging from 200 to 300 minimum wages. The latter are those that make minimum wage commission composed of representatives of employers, representative charro unions and government representatives. The three sectors achieve unanimity. Read
