Mexican employment advances but wages don't

Tuesday, March 31, 2015


The U.S. isn’t the only place where wages aren’t keeping up with gains in employment. South of the border, unemployment is gradually falling and more jobs are being created in the formal economy, but wages—already notoriously low–remain in a rut.
