Mexico's economy has been growing steadily over the past few years. Foreign investment is growing, and the government is intelligently implementing reforms to increase competitiveness and create jobs. Also, Mexico's economy is closely integrated with the U.S. and Canada through a free trade agreement. Often, U.S. entrepreneurs open businesses in Mexico and create new jobs for both locals and foreign applicants. Obtaining a temporary residence permit in Mexico is easier and less costly precisely because of the work, but living and working in this country entails many challenges. 

Peculiarities of employment in Mexico 

Mexico has a labor force of 50 million people and creates a lot of potentially workable competition in the local labor market. In addition, large numbers of migrant workers from other Latin American countries in unskilled occupations create competition in the service sector and occupy a large part of the underground economy. 

The income level of Mexicans is quite low, and the country has a high rate of corruption and crime. The economy is more dependent on the oil sector and external demand and integration trade. Unemployment in Mexico is 3-5%, and the legal and judicial sectors require reform. 

To get a prestigious job, foreign applicants need sufficient work experience, education, and qualifications. Foreign diplomas and certificates often require recognition. In general, skilled workers are available for technical occupations, some branches of Mexican industry, and the service sector. Tourism, electronics, IT, and logistics sectors are on the rise and the local workforce is unable to meet the demand for scarce positions due to the low level of education in the country.
