The variables 2002 Brazilian Classification of Occupations (Classificação Brasileira de Ocupações - CBO 2002), number of hours hired and the value of the average nominal remuneration were analyzed and the financial values were corrected by the Broad Consumer Price Index. The remuneration of nurses and technicians over the past 15 years. There is a slight stagnation in the amount received by nurses and a real increase in the amount received by technicians, which accompanied the minimum wage. The composition of workers with a weekly workload of 40 to 44 hours has changed. There was an expansion of 94.9% in the number of bonds between 2003 (350,470) and 2018 (682,532) and a change in the proportion between groups. In 2003, 84.4% were technicians and 15.6% were nurses. In 2018, 71.4% were technicians and 28.6% were nurses. There is a trend towards an approximation between remunerations of the nursing staff and a relative decrease in the number of technicians and a relative increase in the number of nurses.
