Crafts sold to tourists....or they work in the tourist industry.

Seriously there is a lot of manufacturing, agricultural and service sector jobs in Mexico.

like everyone else said...manufacturing. and in some areas farming i guess. but in a city...it's like anywhere here...businessmen, small business owners such as autoparts/repair, pharmacies, corner grocery stores, etc.. the one thing you won't see too much of...technical jobs such as computer engineers, or software engineers, etc.. mexico is starting an federally funded program to create more of these jobs..but it's just the beginning.

as far as women, mexico is still a single income dominated society. even families you have very little money, and you think, "geez woman!! go get a job!"....the don't because it's just not what they do. many lower class women are housekeepers. other women do secretarial work or retail sales positions. these are mostly single women. married women with children don't tend to work unless they are professionals such as doctor, dentist, university teacher, etc... these jobs are not totally common, but they certainly are not rare among well educated women. in cities such as mexico city and guadalajara...women do the same things that they do in the US, but it is still more totally normal to have only the man working.

for the man...it is ALL on him. i imagine it's a tremendous amount of pressure. even if the woman works...it's not for income that they need, it's because she wants too...or because they would starve without it (and even in this situation, the man is viewed as a total deadbeat.) it would be shameful for the man to not be able to provide for the family.

Well although everyone else seems to think that mexican jobs are just selling something to americans. They are the same as here. I have 5 sister-in-laws in mexico. They are: a doctor, 2 lawyers, a teacher and one works with the social security office. Also, i have 2 brother in laws which owns a pharmacy and the other has three different locations where he provides plumbing pipes and his company makes all the metal sewer covers. My nephew is a banker and make 6,000 US dollars a month. Yes there may be alot of agreculture and people selling to the turists on the beach too, but Mexico is a big place and has most things that we do. The difference is that the classes of people are more defined and age plays a big part in who will get the job. So for some it is hard to find a good job, but there are many different jobs there just like here.

Most women work in the tourist industry or retail. Different positions in stores, hotels and restaurants.

The men work in construction,fishing, farming and also in tourist industry.

tourism is the biggest industry if they are located close to a tourist destination. next i would say farming and manufacturing.

in a strict way :

farmers on conty
small bussinnes on cities:

women's roll in the family : the father make the money, the woman own the money ..lol

and YEs there are all kind of jobs ..just like everywhere else..

and we are in some cases better that some the UE contries..

75% of all women in Mexico are hookers while 99% of the men wear guayaberas, ride around in Pinto lowriders and try to sell you little plastic Jesus dolls, no not of the Savior, but their friend Jesus Gomez. He's cool. He wears a tank top and likes to drink Corona.

Seriously, what sort of question is that?

They have a wide range of jobs just like any country in the world! My wife is a lawyer, her dad an economist, her cousin a doctor.. etc etc etc..
Yes, as a resource rich country (including labor power) Mexico is not quite the services based economy that the US is, but it's as varied if not more than most countries in Cent. And South America and/or Europe.
