Resumen
Descripción
The article analyzes the effects of economic sectors and edu-cational level of workers on their probability to earn higher wages, at the
county level in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Special emphasis is given
to the agricultural sector, since it employs 20% of the total labor force
occupied in the state.
The IBGE Demographic Census of 2000 is the basis for the data.
Logit is the statistical model used for the analysis.
One of the conclusions of the analysis is that the possibility of the
agricultural sector, in a county, to generate higher wages is limited, as
long as it remains solely a producer of the primary product. In order to
generate higher wages, it is necessary that the county aggregates other
sectors, as for example, industrialization, storage and transportation.
Besides, the qualification of the worker is also important, so he can
assume new job opportunities in the aggregated sectors, which contri-butes for higher wages.
