The New York Times published an article by Randal C. Archibold, regarding the expansion of U. S. firms in Mexico, due to its economic growth of 4.5% this year, the competitivity of its labor prices, despite the reduction of unemployment and the infrastructure in place.
It referred to the increase of labor positions, even in Ciudad Juarez, near the border with Texas, which has suffered the highest rate of violence in the country. According to the article, the number of jobs added to the work force this year represented a 1.3%, raising the total to 176,824.
Mr. Archibold reported that the increased offer of jobs translates into a decline in the attraction of people into the criminal organizations.
