Abstract

This article analyses the effects of recent transformations in the Brazilian banking
system on the level and composition of employment in this sector. We indicate the measures
taken by banks in order to adjust to low levels of inflation and its consequences over
the level of employment, the turnover, and the spatial distribution of personnel. We also
discuss the changes in the employees’ profile associated with the intensification of automation
and changes in the management of the labor process.
