Frum is not utilizing the correct rate for converting Mexican pesos to USD, i.e. PPP.
Once you do, the salary of senior personnel at INE is 330k, a sum that places them within Mexico's top 1%.
The highest paid employee in the US fed. gov. does not belong to the top 1%

Suggesting, as Frum does, that the Mexican government must pay top-1% wages, otherwise, it would be left with only "incompetent" workers, is a misleading assertion.
