This is the best summary I could come up with:
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Friday the country’s minimum wage will rise by 20% in 2024, to the equivalent of about $14.25 per day.
About one-third of Mexico’s registered workers report earning the minimum wage, which will amount to about $1.75 per hour starting Jan. 1.
The minimum is higher in areas along the northern border, where living costs are higher.
The Mexican currency has risen by about 10% in value against the dollar since December 2022.
That increase is largely attributable to the high inflow of remittances and high domestic interest rates, which make the peso attractive for investors.
