Abstract

The article analyses a recurrent question about the loss of centrality of laborwith technological innovations and immaterial labor, both from a theoretical and empiricalpoint of view.

Empirically, the article presentsworld and Brazilian economic data on the main causes of unemployment, comparing themwith technological unemployment. JEL Classification: B51; J23; Z13.
