Estimating economic damages based Mexican wages

Sources of Mexican wage information:

www.inegi.gob.mx: The Mexican version of the U.S. BLS gold standard for wage information. A wealth of information on salaries (salarios, ingreso, and -->Remuneraciones). Many of the statistics and wage information is provided in U.S. dollars. Tables showing the salary distribution (rangos de ingreso mensual) can also be found.

Information can also be found on the age distribution of Mexican workers. The age distribution is useful because it can help determine a reasonable Mexican work life. There are also statistics on the unemployment rate and the minimum wage for Mexican workers. The minimum wage varies by Mexican state.

(In some setting, the low end estimate of the loss of Mexican earnings capacity can be determined using the minimum wage)
