To this purpose, has been conducted a survey based in a questionnaire adapted to the particularities of the Argentinean hotel market and carried out into the provinces of Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Salta and Jujuy, in Northern Argentina. The methodology for obtaining information has been taken from the perspective of the indirect subjective method. According to the Human Capital Theory, a set of variables representative of workers' experience, specific training in the workplace and functional and occupational mobility have been included in the analysis. The results show that 54.0% of workers are properly educated, 20.7% overeducated and 25.3% undereducated. Overeducation affects more female than male and the opposite for undereducation.
