Abstract: In the Brazilian domestic sphere, more research is needed to address the perspective of migratory commuting associated with differentials in earnings from work, especially in the Northeast region. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the income differentials from formal work among commuting migrants from the Brazilian Northeast Region in 2009 and 2019, based on RAIS data and the use of the method of Quantile Regressions. The results showed that the characteristics of gender, race/color, length of employment, and education corroborate income differentials in the Northeastern labor market among commuters. It was verified that the positive effect on income was more remarkable, in both years, for white men with more than ten years of experience in the job and a higher level of education (master's and doctorate), mainly in the higher quantiles of the conditional distribution salary.
