Abstract

The article discusses the labor market behavior in Santa Catarina State in the first decade of 21 Century in a context with economic growth. We discuss the dynamic of  occupation in Santa Catarina after a brief discussion of general transformation in the labor market in the world. In this case, we observed a strong growth in the urban population with economic activities, in comparison with a reduction in the population that live in the rural areas. Also, we saw a strong growth in the female work, in spite of the women´s difficult to achieve a job. Services and commerce are the main sectors, while agricultural sector reduce its participation in the labor market. In terms of income, most of the people are concentrated in low level of income. This situation indicate the main tendencies: a) concentration of jobs in the tertiary sector of the economy; b) the agricultural job is declined; c) there is a huge wage differential between man and woman; d) the new jobs created are concentrated in the lowest level of income.
