| Summary: | This article aims to understand and contextualize how changes in the discourse about the work are linked to broader changes in the reorganization of capitalist production. The two assumptions underlying this article postulate that: 1) upgrading the social role of the labor market is mediated through transformations that operate in the symbolic sphere, creating conditions that promote change in attitude and mentality of the workers, adapting them to new labor market conditions and, by extension, of the production process and 2) changes in the order of representations associated with new organization of labor are expressed by the concept of employability. The results lead us to question the argument that the discourse on employability has facilitated the change of attitude and mentality of the workers, adapting them to new conditions of the labor market. Despite being an ongoing process of redefinition of the notion of employment and conditions of participation in the labor market - employability summarized in the category - this cannot yet be considered effective.
