Data from the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO) indicates that Baja California, under Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, has risen to third place nationwide for average monthly income, which now stands at $14,771 pesos.
The governor emphasized that this achievement reflects the combined commitment of the state government, social sectors, and industries to drive economic progress and raise living conditions across Baja California.
Since she took office, a comprehensive policy has been implemented to attract investments, strengthen strategic sectors, and ensure that economic growth directly benefits the incomes of Baja Californian families. Additionally, social programs have been launched to expand opportunities and promote public well-being.
“The priority is to create an environment where families can access decent jobs with better wages, as well as the opportunities needed to improve their well-being. This progress is the result of coordinated work with the state’s productive and social sectors,” the governor said.
This approach has allowed Baja California to maintain sustained economic growth and a favorable labor environment, solidifying the state as one of the most dynamic and competitive economies in Mexico.
According to IMCO, the 5 states with highest average wages are Mexico City with $16,587 pesos; Baja California Sur with $15,825 pesos; Baja California with $14,771 pesos; Nuevo León with $14,191 pesos; and Chihuahua with $12,747 pesos.
IMCO compiles and analyzes official data from the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) to generate reliable indicators on average wages and economic performance across states. These figures allow for the evaluation of social and economic development, and in Baja California’s case, they reflect significant progress, placing the state among the best in terms of labor income.
Governor Marina del Pilar stressed that Baja California is moving toward a future with more and better job opportunities, as well as higher incomes for its residents, reinforcing a model of equitable and sustainable development.
