Mexican auto workers earn $1 to $3 per hour. Mexico's minimum wage equals $4 daily. Auto wages exceed minimum but remain far cheaper than developed nations. Automakers compete fiercely to attract Mexican workers with rising wages and benefits. Global manufacturers shift to Mexico, Brazil, China, India for cost advantages. Proximity to US and transport links boost Mexico's appeal. Car prices stay high at $20,000 average despite offshoring. Pickups and SUVs cost double with huge profit margins. Auto CEOs earn 300 times workers' pay. Offshoring fails to lower consumer auto prices.
