A couple of quick comments:
I suggest you visit during the worst weather months (August or September) to see if it’s to your liking.
I personally don’t know the Merida job market potential. I live in the Lake Chapala area of Mexico (near Guadalajara). When I’m asked by people relocating to our area about job opportunities, I usually offer the following:
6. Mexico does not want you to take a job away from a Mexican citizen.
7. People that are entrepreneurial tend to be more successful at making the transition to working in Mexico.
8. Spanish fluency is a plus.
9. Provide goods and services to Gringos. You understand them. You speak their language, etc.
10. Do a Internet based business. This could be a possibility with your wife’s communications and writing skills.
Another option, may be recruiting English speaking Mexicans for jobs in Alberta. I have a friend that is Canadian and lives in Guadalajara and this is his business. If you are interested in more info send me an email through my website at the bottom of this post.
