In March 2026, a proposal was introduced before Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies seeking to reduce the mandatory quota for hiring Mexican workers from 90% to 75%. The initiative aims to expand access to formal employment for migrants, strengthen labor inclusion, and address talent shortages in strategic sectors.

The proposal would amend the Federal Labor Law to adjust the hiring percentages currently required for companies operating in Mexico. If approved, businesses would be required to comply with the new quota, creating greater employment opportunities for migrant workers.

The initiative could also have a direct impact on labor relocation processes, international recruitment, and corporate inclusion policies within private companies.
