In 2019, a new minimum wage policy is promoted that configures two wage regions: the free zone of the northern border of Mexico and the rest of the country. For the first region an increase of 100 percent is authorized and for the second of 16.2 per-cent. Our objective is to analyze the impact that, in 2019, the differential increase of the minimum wage in the generation of new jobs of the salaried labor force (target population of the minimum wage) of Jalisco (emblematic entity of the rest of Mexico region) and of Baja California (entity of the region of the free zone of the northern border of Mexico) contrasting it with the national average in three levels: occupa-tional structure, sector and economic activity and by size of establishment, as well as by sex. The statistical evidence is processed by the national survey of occupation and employment (ineGi).
