But $2.50 an hour in say Mexico may be equivalent to $15.00 an hour here. You have to take in consideration the cost of living there. I'm sure a lot of people in Mexico wouldn't mind $2.50 an hour to put together a lure...while people in the U.S. would demand $13.00 and hour and tons of benefits to do semi-unskilled labor. Let me ask you a ?. Why does someone open a business?
