Living on minimum wage

Jorge, 60, poses for a photograph as he holds $100 Mexicans at "La antigua Roma" pulqueria in downtown Mexico City July 24, 2013. Jorge, who suffers from advanced deafness, has worked as a barman at a pulqueria for eleven hours a day for over 30 years and earns eight dollars per day. Jorge's salary does not allow him to rent a house and he lives with the family of his wife on the outskirts of the city from where he travels for two hours to get to work. Pulque is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant. Picture taken July 24, 2013. [Photo/Agencies]
