Abstract: The article analyses a recurrent question about the loss of centrality of laborwith technological innovations and immaterial labor, both from a theoretical and empiricalpoint of view. Theoretically, the centrality of labor is discussed both in relation to the theoryof labor value as a form of social domination in capitalism, and in relation to the limits oftechnological unemployment in this mode of production. Empirically, the article presentsworld and Brazilian economic data on the main causes of unemployment, comparing themwith technological unemployment. JEL Classification: B51; J23; Z13.
