        Abstract

        Given the intense migration flow from the northeast to the southeastof Brazil, specifically to the Sao Paulo state, this article tries to establish some ofthe working conditions of the northeastern migrant workers in Sao Paulo. Themain question is to check whether the northeastern workers have the sameworking conditions (measured in wage terms) as the Sao Paulo natives. We also check whether a prolonged stay in the state of Sao Paulo favors a wage rise anda reduction in working capacities between the two groups considered. The resultssuggest the existence of different wage rates between the Sao Paulo natives andthe northern workers in favor of the first but also suggest that the prolonged stayin the state of Sao Paulo does reduce that difference.
