Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the evolution of employment and identify the economic sectors of the state of Rio Grande do Sul that have competitive advantage and/or specialization
in the governments of FHC and Lula. In the analysis, is used the structural-differential method and data from RAIS. It follows that employment increased most in the government Lula than government FHC, in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Sul, and the growth rate of state was lower than in the two national governments. Besides, of 25 sectors analyzed the region showed competitive advantage in 13 of them in government FHC and 4 in government Lula, which indicates that internal factors were not the main determinant of regional performance. The specialization was also higher at the end of the first government (13) when compared to the second (12). The State, for having a dynamic sector weaker than the national, even with growth, had 9 dynamic sectors
(with specialization and competitive vantage) at the end of government FHC and 3 at the end of government Lula, being the industry of transport equipment and the industry of wood and of furniture the main highlights.
