Este artículo analiza la evolución de los trabajadores transfronterizos que residen en México y laboran en Estados Unidos y cuantifica su importancia económica. Con base en información censal y la ENIGH se estiman modelos de regresión lineal y Tobit. Durante el periodo 2000-2020, el número de transfronterizos aumentó ligeramente y la participación de los estadounidenses dentro de este grupo se incrementó sustancialmente. En 2020, los transfronterizos aportaron 7.3% de la masa salarial y ejercieron 7.5% del gasto total de los municipios del norte de México. Además, el tener a un transfronterizo en el hogar se asocia con un gasto 56.8% mayor en México y 283.1% mayor en Estados Unidos. El ser transfronterizo representa para las personas del norte de México con posibilidades de laborar en Estados Unidos una estrategia efectiva para maximizar su ingreso y acceder a un mejor nivel de vida.
