This article aims to present some discussions about the intensification of teaching work in the context of the commercialization of higher education in Brazil, based on the analyzes that we have been able to elaborate up to the moment of its writing. This is a study carried out based on the discussion of data provided by the National Institute for Statistical Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP), with the time frame from 2008 to 2018. The analyzes were based on: a) the number of professors working in Brazil; b) the growth rate; c) the ratio between teacher and enrollment; and d) the type of institutional link. The results show the intensification of work and the progress in relation to the precariousness of the links with higher education institutions.
