Summary by Ground News
150 cartels are recruiting upwards of 350 new members a week. This puts the Mexican drug trade on par with industries like general practice medicine, which employed 189,000 people in 2023. The cartels employ a similar number of people as Oxxo, Mexico's largest corner shop chain. The study counted everyone from rural peasants cultivating opium to armed men guarding drug labs.
