Abstract: Ratios of foreign to Japanese workers are found to be approximately log-normally distributed over municipalities, and their joint distribution of 2000 and 2003 shows a sign of moving toward bimodality. The high ratios are observed in small as well as large cities, and those for Brazilian workers are highly correlated with value of manufactured goods shipments. However, their effects on manufacturing industries' value added are estimated to still remain limited: 1.8 per cent at the maximum and only six municipalities with above 0.5 per cent.
