FMSO Commentary: Contract killing in Mexico is cheap when compared to
countries like Australia and Spain. One reason hitmen in Mexico are cheap is
that there is a large labor pool to choose from, despite the fact the
average life of an assassin in Mexico is three years. Becoming a hitman and
moving up within the ranks of an organized crime group are nearly a
certainty. Most of these deadly criminals start out as street vendors and
begin working as hitmen in as little as three months. According to the
Secretariat of Public Security in Mexico, the average age at which young
adults become contract killers is 24.

Considering the availability of weapons, and the low probability of
punishment, it can be concluded that hitmen are well paid in Mexico. But the
abilities of a hitman go beyond just killing. To reduce the number of hitmen
in Mexico, authorities need to fight all types of crimes in order to reduce
the profit flow that hitmen gain from other activities besides killing.
