> In central Mexico we paid our two-day-a-week housekeeper 300 pesos for about 6 hours of work per day. At the time, it was about four times the daily minimum wage, and the going rate for non live-in help.

We pay a woman 200 pesos for a 4 to 5 hour day, 3 times a week plus she receives 2 meals prepared for her. She often gets gifts of staples, beans, rice, cooking oil etc.
