Transições ocupacionais e mercados de trabalho intermetropolitanos : os casos de Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo - Rio de Janeiro : IESP / UERJ, 2012

The article tests the hypothesis of the existence of a labor market connecting the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo Metropolitan Areas, based on data from RAIS-MIGRA Vínculos, an important and rich database (although previously underutilized for analyzing Brazilian labor market dynamics). The study reveals an effective and intense circulation of workers with different skills and qualifications between the two labor markets, associated with improved income for migrants belonging to various occupational groups.
