Still, I'd imagine that Mexico's economy is deteriorating as well since it is so dependent on US money. Workers sending money back home, human and drug trafficking, and maquiladoras should all be experiencing a dropoff now.

My last info on this subject came from conversations with a number of Mexican nationals at my company late last summer. They all said the same thing, that tons of jobs were available but the wages were abysmal at all of them. Although they were speaking of Mexico in general, a lot of the specifics were about the cities of Juarez and Durango, FWIW.; January 26, 2009 1:28 AM
