This work studies the income of Tijuana and Mexicali industrial manufacturing workers as a function of education level and work experience through a human capital econometric model. Information from the National Survey of Urban Employment (ENEU) was used in a representative database with a sample of 184 observations for Tijuana between 1994 and 2001 (8 years and 23 industrial branches) and 112 observations for Mexicali between 1998 and 2001 (4 years and 28 industrial branches). Education was more important than work experience in determining the income of Tijuana and Mexicali industrial workers. This means that, in the local labor market, education level is a key factor in wage negotiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
