The composition of the manufacturing exports by technological level was utilized to estimate, by means of the structural decomposition analysis and the gross production in México of 2008 and 2012, the changes on employment per unit of variation in each subsector’s exports. The main findings are three: first, that the manufacturing subsectors of medium and high technology generate the less number of jobs per unit of export; second, that the medium and high technology subsectors increased the most their exports, leading to higher requirements of labor; and third, that the observed change in exports has had a positive net effect on job generation.
