The hegemony of the maquiladora industry has been essential in elucidating the economy performance of Mexican localities with United States border. However, the bulk of maquiladora firms present a high Employee Turnover Rate (ETR), which increases production costs. Therefore, based on labour annual information in a Reynosa´s maquiladora, the correlation between staff turnover and the underlying socioeconomic factors in said relationship are determined, through various models regression (OLS and 2SLS) and a Probit-type binary response model. The Hausman test (1978) suggests a greater efficiency or less variance in the estimates with 2SLS,.and the majority participation of young single women in the maquiladora sector with a discontinuous cycle inside the labor market is confirmed.
