Christmas money
Christmas in San Salvador is, like many other things there, brought to you by Western Union. Over $2.2 billion is sent back to El Salvador each year from families living abroad, making remittances the country's largest industry. Western Union and a few other multinational corporations contol the remittance system, extracting huge profits.
