One of the features that distinguish the type of truncated transition in which some underdeveloped economies such as those of Latin America are located is represented by the structural heterogeneity, the result of processes of transformation that achieved high productivity deployments in enclaves - detached from the internal market but integrated And a vast productive network that does not reach adequate levels of competitiveness, in the context of an economy that is still based on its natural resources. Santiago del Estero in the productive, is integrated as a marginal region of peripheral capitalism, where the process of productive modernization did not at any moment become a factor of change. In the period under study, which begins during the beginning of the cycle of the convertibility boom (1994) and culminates with the end of the recovery phase of the model implemented after the fall of this plan (2007), Santiago del Estero recorded a rate of Growth of the Gross Provincial Product above the national rate. This was mainly due to the trend break in 2004. The study shows that structural change led to an acceleration of the growth rate of all activities, but labor market deficiencies, based mainly on a weak industrial sector, prevented breaking with low level equilibria. Deforestation of the rural sector, which does not manage to be absorbed by the manufacturing sector, generates a continuous tension in the labor market. The services sector then acted as a decompression valve and grew disproportionately, in informal activities and in public employment.
