Mexico’s President Calderon announced that the employment growth in Mexico is the highest that it’s been in 17 years. 92,405 jobs were created in April 2010, making a total of 382,000 new jobs registered in the Social Security Institute during the first four months of this year.
That is why the President declared that despite adversity, Mexico is pulling through and advancing along the path to economic recovery.
During the Closing Ceremony of the Ordinary General Assembly of the Business Coordination Council, the President said that the business sector has been a key player in changes in the country, which is why he urged them to continue with their joint work and not to give up until they achieve the results Mexicans need.
“Today we can say that we did the right thing and that thanks to the fact that we planted seeds at difficult times, we can begin to harvest the fruits of our labor,” President Calderon explained.
