Remember reading housekeepers, this particular reference
was to Cabo, they make $8 a day, to add insult, they had to
sign 90 day contracts to let the hotels out of paying them
any benefits, can't confirm, just hearsay, so the timeshare
tourists sipping umbrella drinks poolside, pay as much for
one drink as the housekeepers make in a day. Those bomberos
at $300 a month is a bit light. Locals must not look
forward to Gringos moving in, with the inevitable increase in
prices they bring

In Sayulita, north of PV, you can't get a maid for less than 70 pesos an hour now. Most gardeners, handymen, etc, are asking for that as well. Can't
blame them, it's expensive to live here and it costs them just as much to put gas in their car as it does me.

to pay that little to have someone clean your house, do laundry, tend your garden, seems like the expats have it made. I gave one of my laborers a
bonus because I saw how well he worked.

The TJ factory worker would be way better off moving to Sayulita to clean houses. If he/she could work just 8 hours a day doing that they would be in
fat city, comparably.

In Punta Chivato we pay a local (and he has been working for dad for a long time) $25 a day for 5 hours work, so that is $5 an hour. But this is only
5-6 months a year. Same with house cleaning, we pay a pretty fair rate, certainly a LOT more that $8 and hour.

While on the Baja Pacific coast, I spoke with local Nomads who reported that employed co-op fishermen would be making $30,000 - $40,000 US a year....a
good wage, it seems.

Without a doubt, wages are all relative to your location. What appears to be reasonable or good might be extravagant in LaPaz, Cabo, Mulege or San
Ignacio. After the basics are paid for, are there discretionary funds or savings to be made. Little thought is given to improving skills to continue
to compete in an ever changing world. What passes as a job today can often be replaced by the latest technology and this will continue to be a
development, even in lower wage zones like Mexico. It's easy to become complacent when you've completed your own career and have gotten "security" but
the one constant is that things change.

I think we need not waste time with attacking the originator of the list. It is illegal to do so in Mexico so let's let that one go, please.
This thread is about THE SALARIES and I thank those who remained on topic!
Our fishermen make $40 grand plus a season but I am guessing that this atypical - they are abalone and lobster fishermen.

Whether they are making $40k or $400k, there are very few - including myself - that can make a living on the ocean in Baja. Commercial fishing is
not for everyone.

Not really- everything is more expensive here, for the local Mexicans as well.

I am in no way an expert on how things run here but the cooperative provides boats and motors and fixes equipment when it is down....the cost of
having a business.
In our particular community, they are also proactive in creating jobs for their kids who are not in the cooperative - hence we have a restaurant and
the kids who are not in college or who have graduated work there. We also have a huge supermarket and again, kids who have either graduated and come
back or who decided not to go to college work there.
Who knows, lencho, how the defamation accusation would actually work?

Currently, in Ensenada area (as of 1 March, 2017), a cleaning person generally gets $500 Pesos for the day, for house cleaning. The work day is
generally 6-7 hours, plus lunch. Plus aguinaldo at Christmas time.
