Book excerpt: This work presents an overview of the metropolitan labor markets performance in Brazil along the 1990s, including the years of 2001 and 2002. The importance of that period in the evolution of the Brazilian job market is due to the decisive transformations that took place in the Brazilian economy - trade liberalization and the implementation of the stabilization being the most important ones - as well as in the international economic scenario. The introduction attempts to place the decade in this context. The second section presents the evolution of the five main labor market indicators, based upon the information disclosed by the monthly employment survey - PME/IBGE. - throughout those years. The third section relates these indicators to the specific economic contexts within that period. In the fourth section a more disaggregated inspection is carried out, mainly in terms of age, gender and education. Overall remarks are presented in the final sections.
