I was in Aguascalientes and Guadalajara last month. I have extensive middle/upper class family there, and visit biannually. When I open any one of the four print/digital daily newspapers, I am amazed at how many blue collar/manufacturing/professional jobs are available.
Mexico has a young, vibrant, professional class that works just as hard for less. A young friend of mine who worked at Softek in AGS just got a promotion to Atlanta.
Look, it costs just as much to live in AGS/GDL as it does here in Oregon, if you want to keep your present lifestyle. Sure some things are cheaper (fresh food) and some are more expensive (new cars). I have worked and lived in both places, and speak from that experience...
I have also camped in the Sierra Fria, NW of AGS. Incredible forested area full of wildlife and well managed by the state of AGS...
