During the last decade, the employment of migrants from non-traditional regions in the U.S., such as Sinaloa, reflects not only the change in the profile of mexican migrant workers; urban, women, young and more educational level, but fits in work conditions and job insecurity flexibility in the production process. Thus, the career paths of migrants from Sinaloa workers reflect precarious and vulnerable conditions by the structural conditions of the regions of origin and destination and the effects of cyclical economic crises, adding the dependency on social and family networks that carry to a small margin of confinement and labor mobility.
