description Using data from the new continuous survey of household’s sample (PNAD continua) for 2017, it is initially shown how the classification of occupied people according to their main activity as agricultural or non-agricultural is much different from their classification according to rural or urban residence. In the State of São Paulo, 62.4% of occupied people on rural area have a non-agricultural main activity. The factor component decomposition of the Gini index leads to the evaluation of the degree of progressivity of each income component. The transfers from the Bolsa-Família program are very progressive, being well focalized on the poor. When earnings are distinguished according to sector of activity, it is shown that agricultural earnings are the most progressive and that public employee’s earnings are strongly regressive
