We evaluated the evolution of the sugarcane industry labor market from 2000 to 2016 through an updated database and a new reflection on the impact of institutional and conjunctural aspects related to the sector. Our evaluation was conducted based on descriptive analyses and earnings equations. Our study also proposed a new classification of workers between intrasectoral activities. The results ensure that the new approach revealed a higher concentration of workers in the agricultural segment, compared to previous studies. Also noteworthy is the decline in posts from 2008 on, the effect of mechanization, and the crisis in the sector, but with job quality evolution.
