What are the choices? Work for whatever the going rate is or be unemployed because workers somewhere else will work for that wage? While there are
other options, it boils down to those 2 for the majority of workers without other skills. I'll wager that U$6 an hour looks pretty good to many of the
people in Mexicali.
"Wage concessions were apparently key to persuading Ford Motor Co. to direct many of the 4,500 new jobs involved in building Fiestas to the Ford plant
in Cuautitlan, on the outskirts of Mexico City. Union leaders at the plant told The Associated Press they had agreed to cut wages for new hires to
about half of the current wage of $4.50 per hour.
“We agreed to it,” said Ford union leader Juan Jose Sosa Arreola. “We need to be more competitive. That's the truth. That's a reality.”
The United Auto Workers union had hoped to preserve American jobs by offering a two-tier wage system last fall, cutting starting wages for new U.S.
workers by half to about $14.20 an hour. But it hasn't worked – the jobs are flowing to Mexico, where starting wages at some plants also have been
two-tiered, to as little as $1.50 per hour with a lot less of the related pension and health care costs of U.S. workers.
With labor costs like these, Mexico is staying competitive with China, where an average worker at a foreign-owned factory or joint venture can make $2
to $6 per hour."

This is good news because we need cheaper supplliers for the solar users here in La Baja.
There is a great unmet need , largely because of high prices for the hardware.

Also nice that it's the more efficient, less costly, newer solar film technology:
"It will produce thin-film modules, a new-generation solar panel technology consisting of glass plates placed over a layer of electric semiconductor
material. Thin-film cells are seen as key to the ongoing development of solar energy, as their production costs are lower than the crystalline silicon
modules that claim 90% of the current market"
