Efficient, skilled, and competitive workforce economics
Maximizing value for global investors
Jalisco’s labor costs are significantly lower than in other North American locations while maintaining exceptional productivity standards. For international companies, this translates into optimized operational budgets without compromising innovation, quality, or technical expertise. Combined with strong retention and training programs, the state provides a competitive cost base for scalable growth.
Cost Efficiency and Value Creation
Because Jalisco combines a large talent pool, strong STEM output, and a mature industrial and tech ecosystem, companies can achieve significant cost savings without sacrificing talent quality. Labor costs in the state are roughly 30–40% lower than in major U.S. and Canadian markets.
Key Location
The high concentration of manufacturing in Mexico’s border regions drives wages well above national averages. In contrast, Jalisco maintains more competitive labor costs while still offering one of the strongest and most diverse talent pools in the country, creating a strategic cost advantage for investors.
Productivity and Retention
Beyond cost savings, companies in Jalisco benefit from a culture of commitment and long-term employment relationships. With turnover rates 15% below the national average and strong employer–employee collaboration ensures continuity, efficiency, and the accumulation of valuable experience within each operation.
