Abstract: This article analyses the main characteristics of the labor market in the Metropolitan Area of Porto Alegre - Rio Grande do Sul, in the early 90's, based on data from a monthly regional survey on employment and unemployment (PED-RMPA). Special attention is given to the conditions of occupation, income and unemployment of the labor force. The main results indicates the poor conditions of the labor force, due to the long economic crisis of the country. Emphasis must be put on the high unemployment rate (13,9 % of the Economically Active Population - EAP) as well as on the heterogeneous allocation of the workers in the regional labor market. Even though the majority of workers is engaged as employee (66 %), an expressive proportion presents precarious links with the labor market: 15% are self-employed, 5,3% are employees ilegally contracted and 5,4% are housekeepers.
