Almost 15 million women old enough to work (14 and older) take part of the Mexican work force, which totals 44.71 million (2007). This means a little more than a third of all Mexican workers are women.

Being Mexico the 10th to 13th largest economy in the world, it is no surprise that women have an important role in the economy. Some jobs performed by Mexican women, from higher to lower income:

  • Petroleum Engineer
  • Computer programmer
  • Accountant
  • Flight attendant
  • Professional nurse
  • Hotel Receptionist
  • Chambermaid
  • Garment cutter

Mexico City has 20 million inhabitants; it would be the equivalent to New York City (however it is not a coastal city). Therefore, it would have most professions known to man.

Mexicans can work in any job they want, as long as they are qualified. Just because they are of a certain race, does not mean they are entitled to any specific jobs.
