Abstract: Observable and unobservable productive attributes are commonly treated in national and international literature as important determinants of labor income. Observable and measurable attributes, such as age, experience, education, among others, are important determinants of income from work. In view of this, this article intends to observe the effects of observable socioeconomic characteristics on the income of employed people in the formal sector in Ceará in the years 2007 and 2017. To do so, we use the framework of the Mincerian (Mincer, 1974) income equation with microdata from the Annual Social Information Report of the Ministry of Economy of Brazil (Relação Anual de Informações Sociais do Ministério da Economia do Brasil [Rais-Meb]), which allows analyzing the diploma effect by race/color and sex. The results show that the diploma effect is one of the main determinants of formal job income in Ceará, being responsible for greatly reducing the income disparities of employed individuals, regardless of race/color or sex.
