Scary fact?
Most of the population in Mexico earn about 750 pesos weekly at Maquilas, making car parts and clothes (about 50 dollars) If you're lucky you can earn about 950.
Depending on the city, that's the average.

Earning your entire monthly cost of living in a single week, and earning 1/4th of your apartment's monthly rent in a week, isn't uncommon in the US. They get a roommate. My point is that there are terrible conditions in Mexico, and we should be careful to focus on the ones that are true, lest people start to believe that there isn't really a problem.
