The Business Coordinating Council (CCE) warned about the 'precarious' state of employment and wages in Mexico, as well as the deepening gap of inequality. A few hours before the commemoration of Labor Day, the body chaired by Gerardo Gutierrez Candiani issued a statement in which it noted that "job insecurity remains a serious problem, especially when looking at the prevailing wage."

As sample, it gave the following figures: In 2012 the number of workers who receive up to three minimum wages per month increased by nearly a million people, but that of those earning above three minimum wages fell by more than 400,000.

In other words, there are more workers who receive less income from their work.

MV Note: The Mexico minimum daily wage is about US$6.00 per day, so three minimum wages is about US$18 per day.
