  • Descrição: A new economic sector has burgeoned in the wake of labor deregulation, especially in large metropolises: services specializing in the intermediation of work opportunities. Employment agencies, outsourcing & "temp" companies, & human resources consulting firms have formed a veritable market within the overall labor market. The article aims to analyze this market. The first section draws on the relevant international literature, systematizing the various analytical approaches. The second part conducts a historical analysis of how the job agency market was first established in Brazil. The third section analyzes how this market currently operates, based on the case of Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest metropolitan labor market in general & largest job agency market in particular. Micro-data for 2001 & 2004 from the RAIS (the official Annual Survey of Information & Salaries) & ethnographic observation in the largest cluster of job agencies provide the basis for the conclusions in the fourth & last section of the article. Figures, Graphs, References. Adapted from the source document.
