i've started classes now and am finding the lecturers so, so enthralling and knowledgable.
my mexican culture and society class is particularily enlightening which is where i've garnered this quick factfile of this latin country.
- minimum wage in Mexico : 50pesos / 8 hour day ($5 australian dollars)
- 40% of mexicans earn minimum wage (unofficially the figure is more like 70%)
- there are more millionaires per capita in Mexico than in the USA
- millionaires in Mexico are wealthier than their north american counterparts on average
- Mexico's last president was simultaneously the president of the PEPSI corporation
