[full-text, 24 pages]
I ALL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES, 1975-2004
II MAQUILADORA MANUFACTURING EXPORT INDUSTRIES, 1975-2004
Hourly compensation data for all manufacturing industries in Mexico (I) are as published
in the BLS report "Hourly Compensation Costs for Production Workers in Manufacturing, 32
Countries or Areas, 22 Manufacturing Industries, 1992-2004"
(< http://www.bls.gov/fls/flshcindnaics.htm>). These data are based on the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Hourly compensation data for maquiladora manufacturing export industries in Mexico (II)
are not included in the above BLS report. These data are reported here using a
classification system unique to maquiladora establishments, and are therefore not
directly comparable to the data in Section I.
A "maquiladora" refers to a Mexican firm (often foreign-owned) operating under a special
customs program which allows the maquiladora to temporarily import into Mexico on a duty
free (in-bond) basis capital and intermediary goods needed for the assembly or
manufacture of goods or services for export. Maquiladora data presented in the tables
reflect only maquiladora manufacturing.
