Abstract: This article aims to analyse the vulnerability of mining municipalities in the State of Minas Gerais, especially as regards the fiscal and employment, affected by recent external disruptions. Indicators of resistance and recovery were calculated from employment data in order to measure the economic resilience of mining-dependent economies. Dynamic Panel Data estimation was performed to understand the relationship between the labour market and variables related to the commercialization of iron ore and the collection of CFEM from municipalities. The results showed the low resilience of the municipalities analysed, which makes them more vulnerable to shocks or disruptions of different types, magnitudes, and scales.
