The paper analyzes the spatial profile of the location of formal employment in the Paraná State in Brazil, between 2002 and 2011. For the analysis we used the measures of location for analysis of economic sectors between the regions and among them was elected Location Quotient and redistribution coefficient, using data from the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS) Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). The results showed that agriculture presents greater dispersion of formal employment in almost all regions of Paraná State, with the exception of the middle region of Curitiba´s city. Thus, agriculture accounts for a major source of employment and income in the state of Paraná. For the industrial sector, it is observed that the Traditional Industry presents greater dispersion between the Paraná regions, while the Non-Traditional Industry and Industry dynamics are more concentrated.
