One of main characteristics of Brazilian labor market is the male-female and the black-white wage differential. So this paper looks for evidences of female wage inequality for black and white individuals who are allocated in same occupation. For this aim, we used the data on the PNAD 2004 and a semiparametric method - kernel estimator. Counterfactual simulations showed visually the presence the discrimination against women workers for both races, it was visually higher in the occupation with higher schollarship. The female wage inequality also increased for higher wages.
