The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires is marked by an intensive productive structure in services, both in its absorption of labor and in its participation in the product. A good part of these are explained by the Knowledge-Intensive Services (KIS), so they deserve a careful analysis of the type of demand for labor that is associated. Much of the academic discussion revolves around the importance of supplying human capital for the development of the knowledge industry; therefore, with a clear understanding of its role in the proliferation of the KIS sector, the primary objective of this paper is to understand this mechanism, but in reverse; that is, to understand the morphology of the demand for labor that has been generated, based on both the qualification of the labor force and the tasks that are performed. Besides the usual controls, it incorporates the precision of the work activity, understood under a specific scheme of tasks. This analysis leads to conclude that even with salaries well above the average, the control by tasks shows a notorious gap in salaries and in terms of job creation. At the same time, the KIS sector stands out in the labor demand for positions with greater technological complementarity -intensity in non-routine cognitive tasks- and of professional and technical qualification.
