Mexico sets a general minimum of $315.04 pesos a day (≈MX$9,577 a month at 30.4 days) and $440.87 a day in the Northern Border Free Zone (ZLFN) (≈MX$13,402 a month), by CONASAMI resolution in force since 1 January 2026 (+13% general, +5% ZLFN; announced 3 December 2025, confirmed by Littler because gob.mx returned 403). In dollars, ≈US$515 general and ≈US$721 at the border, at roughly MX$18.6/US$ (approximate rate, to be anchored against Banxico). Mexico's general minimum is above the Guatemalan maquila minimum with the bonus (≈US$475).

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
