How much does an auto factory worker make a week in Mexico? an hourly worker, turning screws or spray painting?
I've been told they make $2 an hour. I don't' believe that, does anyone really know, how much does that Mexican worker take home in a week? Not the plant engineer or maintenance crew but the hourly worker.I know they make cars in Mexico, I saw them all lined up on the dock when on a cruise. Aren't we told the reason Business leaves the US is because our worker make too much money and the item can be made outside the US and shipped in, cheaper? How much per hour?

They say $3.50, But if you go to Mexico and look at the take home amount, after all is took out it is closer to .90 a hour.

Thanks to Tonalc2. we have a talking point to begin with. 3.00 an hour loaded would give you 6 with benefits if the same factors for loaded hour wage are the same used in this country. It really stands to reason if you were an auto maker you would be foolish not to take that factory to Mexico. Because the average loaded hourly rate in this country is 78.00 an hour. So this is really a no brainer, What we have to do as a Nation is find a way to balance out these inconsistencies, Either through tariff, or Dock fees, or somehow through another trade item we can strike an equitable balance, Me Im just a Homicide cop not an economist, So Im out of ideas. But you real smart guys out there in that field should be able to come up with a balance.

The minimum wage in 2005 was $4.50 per day. I saw a link saying the typical wage for a factory worker was $1.85 a few years back. I suspect that it is a couple dollars and hour plus change today. The information you have been told is pretty accurate. It is sad to see how prediction about the race to the bottom the NAFTA critics predicted is coming true.
