If you worked in Mexico,
What could you afford to buy?
And how does that compare, if you had the same job in the
U.S.?
Today, Mexican workers do the same
kinds of jobs that U.S. workers do. Many even work for the same
employers, making the same or similar products just as efficiently.

See for yourself. Click the button below to pick a job and we'll show

See for yourself how many hours you'd work in each country
