摘要

The Brazilian labor market indicators have improved in the decade of 2000s. The unemployment rate declined and the formalization level rose in nearly all of the Brazilian territory. However, some spatial inheritances were reinforced and new spaces were developed, which means the underdeveloped profile of the Brazilian labor market did not change. The paper presents a discussion about the relation between the spatial economic specialization and the labor market behavior. Supported by literature and empirical analysis, the paper shows how territorial features can influence the labor market. Based on the Sao Paulo State experience the work shows evidence that the spatial economic specialization can reduce job opportunities and unemployed population could be hidden under the inactivity shadow.
