Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum launched the “México te abraza” employment program to help citizens deported under Donald Trump reintegrate into the workforce.
In partnership with the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial, over 220 companies have posted 63,880 vacancies nationwide, surpassing a January pledge to create 50,000 jobs.
Roles span sectors like agriculture and construction, with salaries ranging from $424 to over $2,000 USD monthly. Key employers include Walmart, Grupo Bimbo, and CEMEX.
The initiative aims to provide “dignified, well-paying work” and leverage U.S. labor experience for Mexico’s economic benefit.

Has unemployment risen? I looked at some numbers and it looks really low over the last few years. Not a Mexican.

That graph shows unemployment at its lowest level in 10 years.
How about instead of being rude and condescending, you try to explain to us how unemployment is so bad yet apparently at its lowest level in a long time.

I’m not seeing anything in that article that indicates these jobs have to be for people who are returning to the country. They seem to be open for anybody. So if you want one of them go get one. Also I point out that these people are citizens so what are you mad about exactly?

While I appreciate the sentiment and perhaps you’re right about meaningless populism… but from up here it really looks like she wants to take advantage of our bout of insanity to goose your economy, to reduce the reasons for people leaving in the first place, to build a more independent local economy in place of the more precarious global one.
Think of all the insane drivel drooling out the side of the mouth of mango Mussolini - somehow his strategy is “1. Wreck it; 2. ???; 3. Profit”, whereas this looks like “build it and they will come”.
Yeah, I swear people on Lemmy love Sheinbaum, but they are not Mexican, so of course they don’t know the whole picture.
If we’re doing anecdotes, the Mexican side of my family loves Sheinbaum too and are not in Lemmy (+1 friend and her boyfriend as well)
