Technologic Innovation and the Cartographic Engineer´s Work Market
Abstract
The article focuses on the presence of the technologic innovation and the surveyed
current conditions of the cartographic engineer´s work market. The methodology is
based on forms with objective questions answered by the professionals. The current
survey is the fourth one starting in 1995 and the first one with on line forms filled
out by the Brazilian Association of Cartographic Engineers São Paulo Sections
web page. The sample was made up with 141 engineers and it revealed numbers
that confirm the growing visibility and social recognition of the Brazilian
cartographic engineer, although still far from the condition consistent with the
territorial extension and the importance of Cartography for the country. The survey
shows that the monthly average revenues are of approximately fifteen minimum
wages; that the sample has only 13% of employers, although it is the highest
percentage among all surveys; that 63 professionals cited 127 times that their
organizations are related to technologic innovation at a proportion of two citations
per organization; that 69% of the sample are optimists concerned to the future.
Other important pieces of information to students and professionals will also be
discussed in the article.
