Regarding the Social Progress Index that gathers together all economic elements regarding progress and wellbeing of people, Baja California got 70.6 points and was ranked, once again, above the national average of 65.6. The highest rating was 78.9, which means that for the Secretary of the Economy and Innovation, Kurt Ignacio Honold Morales, this reflects a gradual improvement in the quality life of all Baja Californians.
