In this week’s exclusive, subscribers-only MND Perspectives podcast, Travis Bembenek, CEO of Mexico News Daily, examines the potential risks and rewards of nearshoring for Mexicans. While foreign direct investment generally leads to more jobs, there is a risk that Mexican companies could be displaced by highly competitive foreign firms
Should Mexico should aim for higher-value jobs in areas such as engineering, research, and management, rather than simply replicating the low-wage, low-skill model of maquiladoras? Will the influx of international companies rushing to nearshore in Mexico ultimately help Mexicans, or damage local economies and offer poorly-paid and undesirable jobs?

. . . sort of a tangent comment here . . . but the truck “hijacking or highway blockage & robbery” will bleed the economic heartbeat of any company wanting to bring their products to market . . . I hope Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration addresses this “weak link” in their supply chain . . . just my opinion
I have no interested in listening to an AI podcast. I urge you to use actual humans to record it. If you cannot be bothered have an actual human speak to us, why should I be bothered to listen?
