The present work intends to analyze the changes that have taken place in the labor market since the new urban residence of rural laborers living in Loteo Rural neighborhood. This peripheral neighborhood of the city of Capiovi had its origin in 1983 as a mechanism that ensured ownership of the lots for the laborers who until then lived in the Oro Verde colony. We will focus on 1983 - at the origin of Loteo Rural - and the middle of the 2000s with the arrival of new settlers and the access of the neighborhood to the financing of the Barrier Improvement Program Pro.Me.Ba in 2006. The use of qualitative research sources based on interviewing local people allowed us to identify the factors that led to their migration from the farms and the characteristics of the forms of mobility and labor insertion - very related to seasonality of the agricultural production of the region that they had from their new residence in the "urban periphery" of Capiovi.
