What happens when new low-paying jobs are created???
The reality is that very few locals will take jobs that are paying 4.50 dlls a day... yes!!! that is the minimum wage in Mexico and many hotels and businesses pay that much.
So what happens when locals do not want to take low paying jobs??? New people arrive from (La Sierra) people that are willing to take 5 dlls a day. So you see the cycle there???
Some people would say that locals are lazy-flojos... the reality is that they are not willing to give up their leisure (surfing, soccer, etc..) time for 5 dlls a day.
So... what's the premise here??? they say that this pier will generate more jobs... do you really think that locals will be working for even 10 dlls a day… how many more jobs they are talking about??? the big winners will be the tour-operators like Mario among others. Rob says that construction companies bring their own crew… and that is 100% correct, they do not hire locals.

I learned this in my Econ 401 when I was in college... How much leisure are you willing to give up for 4.50 dlls a day???
If you go to locals-hangout place (AKA billares) and offer a job that will pay 5 dlls a day... they will spit on your face...(they wont really... but it is a way of saying).
