What occupation do Mexicans mostly have in Mexico? |
Travel Info What occupation do Mexicans mostly have in Mexico? What type of work does a woman do in Mexico to support her family? What about the male or the father? Travel Tips Crafts sold to tourists....or they work in the tourist industry. Seriously there is a lot of manufacturing, agricultural and service sector jobs in Mexico. Source(s): http://carnegieendowment.org/publication... Other Travel Tips Good question.. I think there is a lot of manufacturing and agriculture. But, I'm talking out of my a** mostly farmers like everyone else said...manufacturing. and in some areas farming i guess. but in a city...it's like anywhere here...businessmen, small business owners such as autoparts/repair, pharmacies, corner grocery stores, etc.. the one thing you won't see too much of...technical jobs such as computer engineers, or software engineers, etc.. mexico is starting an federally funded program to create more of these jobs..but it's just the beginning. as far as women, mexico is still a single income dominated society. even families you have very little money, and you think, "geez woman!! go get a job!"....the don't because it's just not what they do. many lower class women are housekeepers. other women do secretarial work or retail sales positions. these are mostly single women. married women with children don't tend to work unless they are professionals such as doctor, dentist, university teacher, etc... these jobs are not totally common, but they certainly are not rare among well educated women. in cities such as mexico city and guadalajara...women do the same things that they do in the US, but it is still more totally normal to have only the man working. for the man...it is ALL on him. i imagine it's a tremendous amount of pressure. even if the woman works...it's not for income that they need, it's because she wants too...or because they would starve without it (and even in this situation, the man is viewed as a total deadbeat.) it would be shameful for the man to not be able to provide for the family. boyfriend is mexican...MANY discussions on this topic. am a woman, worked in mexico tourism is the biggest industry if they are located close to a tourist destination. next i would say farming and manufacturing. |
