Abstract

The economic transformations since 1990, in Brazil, had produced negative consequences to labor market, and it reinforced the diversity ofthe occupational situations and enlarged the unemployment oflabor force. In this period, the idea ofthe necessary "flexibilization" of the labor legislation was divulgated as alternative to increase the employment supply. The United States of America were indicated as well-finished model of job generation because it combine flexible employment pattern with low unemployment rate (in opposition to European economies, which combined rigid regulation and high unemployment rate). The paper pretends to examine the recent evolution of the Brazilian labor market and to observe some differences and similarities relating to North American labor market. Though the labor legislation is well more extensive in Brazil, it pretends to explain that labor legislation is not the cause of the unemployment and the informality, which are chronic problems that reproduce the social exclusion in the Country.
