Abstract

This article discusses the labor in the mines of Guanajuato during the second half of the 18th century, to show the diversity of trades among the workers, but above all that these processes were subject to an era of mining modernization led by the State. The forced labor, labor regulation by the State with the intervention of the mining companies and the adoption of various measures of labor and social control, limited the development of the workforce in one of the most advanced sectors of the times.
