The main objective of this study was to study the locational dynamics of economic activities in the State of Ceará from their mesoregions in 2005 and 2015. The basic data used for the construction of the indicators refer to the formal jobs classified by between the mesoregions of the state of Ceará, obtained from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS), maintained by the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). The main results pointed to the Jaguaribe mesoregion as more specialized in the agricultural sector both in 2005 (8.43) and 2015 (9.71), demonstrating the influence of agricultural modernization in this region. The metropolitan mesoregion of Fortaleza presented significant performance in the sector of Trade and Civil Construction, in both years analyzed, demonstrating specialization in the sector. Although the concentration in the industrial sector of the mesoregion has diminished, it should be noted that this spatial reorientation in the industry was destined to the municipalities that compose the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, thus reaffirming the spatial appropriation by the productive restructuring. The services and commerce sectors presented a high degree of specialization and were the most significant among the mesoregions of Ceará in the analyzed years. On the other hand, the Civil Construction sector is concentrated in the metropolitan regions of Fortaleza (1.19) and North Ceará (1.02), in the year 2015. Keywords: Locational dynamic.
