Although, in the current social-economical organization, there has been considerable emphasis on management, circulation and consumption of goods, industry continues being important for the generation of social wealth. In general, managers from the public sector are interested in attracting investments for their territories. Therefore, besides the socioeconomic impacts, industrialization brings important consequences to space production. In this context, in the mid -90s, many authors started to support the thesis that there has been a return to an industrial decentralization in Brazil. The objective of this work was to verify the industrial employees’ decentralization process, using as timeframe the period between 1995 and 2015. The space area used was the geographical mesoregions established by the IBGE. As operational procedure, this work used information from the Ministry of Labor and Employment - RAIS (Annual Report on Social Information) databanks and the mapping of the geographical mesoregions, according to the number of people employed by the industry sector. The main conclusion was that there was, in this period, a concentrated decentralization of industry workers, since most of the mesoregions with greater growth are located in the Center South of Brazil.
