The other, using panel data, to investigate the effect of GDP per capita, the stock of human capital and consumption of electric power on the stock of formal jobs With regard to results, we can infer that the FDI was ineffective on its goal of generating jobs, is seen that the impact on the stock or the rate of formal job growth was zero, so future policies for industrial development the state of Ceará can be corrected (or revised) on how to implement.
