Abstract
This essay studies the regional markets of industrial labour in two Brazilian regions, during the so-called period of Primeira República (1989-1930). It identifies the existence of near full employment of the labour force in the region of Rio Grande do Sul, where, as compared to the region of São Paulo, better work and rewards conditions were observed. These conditions, however, did not jeopardize the relative industrial performance of the former region: its productivity and capital intensity levels were bigger than those of São Paulo, overcoming the disadvantadge associated with bigger wages costs.
