Aveage wage for office workers in Cancun

What would be the average hourly wage for an English speaking/writing person in Cancun? This would be for a marketing assistant/office admin type position (not a sales job nor travel related). I'm looking to open up a satellite office for my marketing company in Mexico.

Thanks in advance

 

i might just not know but i never heard of being paid hourly while i was living there and looking for an Executive Assistant job, and most of the salaries i heard about were not really good, at all, they were around 5 or 6 thousand pesos a month, working 6 days a weeks, 8 hours a day...

 

Little further explanation. Yes it isn't a typical Cancun job. This would be for part-time work. Think more like the outsourced centers in Mexico City and Guadalajara.

 

I think we are probably not going to get to a good response here since the question doesn't relate to the reality of Cancun. People don't get paid by the hour in Cancun but here are some possible scenarios that might badly answer a bad question:

I know that people are being hired for about a thousand dollars a month and if you figure 160 hours a month you get $6-$7 usd per hour but there are other factors that make this NOT an apple to apple comparison of the question to the answer.

If you want to hire someone freelance with marketing and English language skills part time, you have to negotiate and might get someone part time for say $1,000-$2,000 a month depending on level of marketing and language skills.

Lots of people freelance to make extra money and many people are without work right now.

 

Ok to make it simple. What would be the average monthly wage for a Mexican citizen working in an office with decent written English skills.

Thanks

 

$1,000-$1500 usd
let's see what others think.

 

I work for a big travel company, the guys in my office write in English which I then correct. They are supposed to be the cream of the crop but their written skills in English really are still quite bad (as in it is obvious that it was written by somebody who is not a native speaker).

They get paid 14,000 pesos a month.

Obviously if they were freelancing the price would go up.

 

Thanks for all the info and insights It has been helpful

 

I know a number of native English speakers who work full time here for just what Jim said, between $1000 and $1500 USD.

 

I would say that 10000 pesos a month is on the high side of the average. I know some professionals (university degrees and years of experience in their field) making 6000 pesos a month. Being a native speaker, the price goes up, those making 15000 pesos are considered quite lucky.
