Minimum Wage in Mexico: Increases Will Not Affect Most Manufacturers

Minimum Wage in Mexico: Increases Will Not Affect Most Manufacturers

On December 16, 2019, the Mexican National Minimum Wage Commission (CONASAMI), agreed to increase the daily minimum wage in Mexico beginning January 1, 2020. This is the second minimum wage increase in a year and affects around 3.44 million workers in Mexico.

Starting January 1, 2020 the new daily minimum wage will increase to $123.22 MXP for most of Mexico (approximately $6.40 dollars a day when the peso is $19.25/dollar), while the new daily minimum wage along Mexico’s northern border region will increase to $185.56 MXP ($9.70 dollars a day). A new tax decree issued by Mexican President Lopez Obrador in January 2019 established a new “free zone” along the U.S.-Mexico border and is subject to a different daily minimum wage.

Will the New Daily Minimum Wage Affect Manufacturers and Maquiladoras?

Most manufacturers won’t be affected. Manufacturers and maquiladoras along the northern Mexico border region already pay significantly more than the new daily minimum wage that goes in effect in January 2020. The average wage in Mexico for an assembler in a maquiladora is $2.60 dollars and hour, around $20 dollars a day. Learn more about the daily minimum wage while manufacturing in Mexico here.
