This paper aims to explain the unemployment scenario in Brazil and report on the causes and consequences related to the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus, generating an economic recession, and which aims to analyze the labor market and the factors that increase the unemployment rate in recent years and its consequences. It also intends to verify the degree of importance of unemployment as a determinant of poverty and default, identify the social groups most affected before and during the pandemic, and analyze the new patterns of work development in the pandemic scenario, such as the Home Office. The method chosen to analyze the object of study of this work was descriptive research and the main data collected for this research were taken from the website of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), through the Continuous National Household Sample Survey ( PNAD). The variables chosen to determine unemployment were age, sex and level of education, both in Brazil and in its regions. It was observed that, after technological advances, to remain or enter the labor market, workers need to invest in their professional qualification, seeking a differential, as the workforce became less necessary.
