The aim of this paper is to analyze the recent evolution of industrial employment in the context of local industrialization experiences (Local Productive Systems (LPS) present in the region of Castilla y León.For this purpose, after describing the current structure of industrial employment in Castilla y León and the main features of the LPS, the paper offers a detailed examination of the evolution of industrial employment in such areas during the period 2001-2011. This analysis is based on shift-share statistical technique, by using data from the General Treasury of Social Security about employment and productive establishments. It allows to observe the uneven gait experienced in employment by the municipalities under study and the different industrial activities, among which is particularly interesting, despite the economic crisis, the agrofood industry.El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el comportamiento reciente del empleo industrial en el contexto de las iniciativas de industrialización local o sistemas productivos locales (en adelante SPL) existentes en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León.A tal fin, tras describir la estructura ocupacional de la industria de Castilla y León y los rasgos fundamentales de sus SPL, en el trabajo se ofrece un examen detallado de la evolución del empleo industrial en tales territorios a lo largo de la etapa 2001-2011. Tomando como base la utilización de la técnica shift-share, a partir de los datos de la Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social sobre afiliados (ocupación) y centros de cotización (empresas), dicho análisis permite observar la dispar andadura experimentada en cuanto a empleo por los diferentes municipios objeto de estudio y las ramas de actividad, entre las que sobresale particularmente, pese a la crisis, la industria agroalimentaria.
