An article by Damien Cave in
The New York Times yesterday detailed the changes in Mexico that are making it more attractive to big business and expatriates from the United States, Canada, and Europe.
In "
For Migrants, New Land of Opportunity Is Mexico," Cave says that not only is Mexico appealing because it offers cheaper industrial costs and lower wages, it is also attractive because of its creative opportunities.

As Cave states, "Europe, dying; Mexico, coming to life. The United States, closed and
materialistic; Mexico, open and creative. Perceptions are what drive
migration worldwide, and in interviews with dozens of new arrivals to
Mexico City — including architects, artists and entrepreneurs — it
became clear that the country’s attractiveness extended beyond
economics."

Of course, Mexico has long been a destination for retirees looking for a cheaper, simpler, and culturally diverse retirement destination.
