- Abstract
This study analyzes wages in the labor market for skilled and unskilled labor in Mexico's regions between the years 2000 and 2004. The results are based on the non-parametric technique of Jenkins and Van Kerm (2004). The exercise makes it possible to visualize the entire distribution of wages according to a breakdown of the country's regional sub-groups. It is determined that, while skilled labor earns higher remunerations than its counterpart, it shows a very dispersed structure. The evidence shows lower levels of wage concentration in the country as a whole relative to the northern border area, while the southern and central regions show extremely small changes. An increase is seen in the inequality within the skilled group, due to a rise in the heterogeneity of wages within this section.
