It was used the regional analy sis method through the indicators of location, particularly, the Locational Quotient (QL), the Hirschman Herfindahl concentration index (HHI), the geographic asso ciation coefficient (CAG) and the employment multiplier. The theoretical framework was based in the concept of regional economy on the theory of location of the produc tive sectors.
