One has to test- in to finish “prepatoria” which is is essentially a junior or senior in high school. University is free only for those who are smartest, often from families with wealth. A big increase in public investments would rapidly increase the middle class and grow the economy through internal consumption. Think the USA, 70% of our GDP is consumer driven.

Echoing others here — more focus on education and job training would make such a difference. In my short time living here I see so much potential in the Mexican people. But not so much investment in developing the talent, and without practical opportunities, a lot of people just don’t see a path forward unless it’s leaving the country.

Mexico can go a long way to help their own, as far as Education is concerned…The Mexican government only supports education to grade 10. After that the Families are on their own to pay….Education should be a high priority.
Infrastructure, like getting water to homes has been an ongoing problem for many investors, here in the Los Barriles, La Paz area…..Yet they continue to approve building permits…It is not that the Township does not have an ample supply of water, but rather a non existent infrastructure for it and a non caring attitude!…..Just lining their pockets.!.

Totally agree! Wages need to rise to help create a strong middle class. Unfortunately, the hacienda mentality still exists and 50% of Mexico lives in poverty. Maybe more investment along with major infrastructure improvement (water/sewer/roads) can help move Mexico forward!

The problem in the US is workers think they are worth more than they are.

I can’t find a white collar Mexican that wants to come to the states. You are right but that’s talking about laborers and factory type workers. If you’re in IT or other white collar field even with the lower wages you have a better life in Mexico than here. Educated Mexicans with certain degrees and exp can work without a h1b in the states. Same as Canadians. They just don’t want to.

one very important part that is missing for Mexico’s growth for ALL…WAGES. The wealthy don’t pay the workers a wage they can live on. Thats the Reason for immigration moves to go North to the U.S. IF the workers could get a decent wage in Mexico, they would NOT Leave home.

This is big. Bigger than Tesla. Dimon knows his stuff, and the fact he’s spending time here indicates he wants to buy in (to the next government). And of course he’s right, growth does make a difference for everyone. You know this is if you come from a low growth state and visit a place like Texas where generally people are happy, optimistic, doing fun activities despite it being a featureless and uninspiring landscape. Mexico could have it all… and just might

Yes. The Americas are a relative sea of tranquility at this time providing a unique opportunity. Strengthening work skills, and educational opportunities in Mexico (which is happening) is a boon for all the Americas.
