RE: URPE (stat request)



"NAFTA accelerated a trend that started in 1982, when a financial crisis
forced Mexico to open up its economy to domination by U.S. finance and
industry.

Since then, living standards have fallen as the country has shifted from
protecting independent industry to become an adjunct of the U.S. economy.
Maquiladoras are now spreading from the border region to southern Mexico,
where wages are even lower."
---------------------
if available to support the above statements, i would like sources that show
stats for yearly per capita income by quintile/decile for mexico and/or the
maquiladora mexican states since the advent of NAFTA.

thanks for your help.
