The subjects of the study were a group of 83 retirees of this company who live in the metropolitan area of Tampico-Madero-Altamira. After a review of the theories that focus this theme, a cross, ex post facto method was designed, to ask them for information about two moments of their working life in the company. The analysis allowed for finding evidence about intra-generational labor mobility, but not for inter-generational mobility. On these results there were no differences on social mobility between men and women. The separation of job positions administered by the company and job positions administered by the union, allowed to observe that this intermediation imposes limits to social mobility of employees, which is an aspect that brings discussion on the limits of interpretations of Human Capital theory that do not take into account external variables to the education of individuals. Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo buscar evidencias de relación entre educación y movilidad social ascendente en la Comisión Federal de Electricidad. Los sujetos en estudio fueron un grupo de 83 jubilados de esta empresa que residen en el área metropolitana de Tampico-Madero-Altamira. Después de un repaso sobre las teorías que enfocan este tema, se diseñó un método ex post facto, transversal, en el que mediante cuestionario se les pide información sobre dos momentos de su vida laboral en esta empresa. El análisis permitió encontrar evidencias de movilidad laboral intra-generacional, pero no intergeneracional. Sobre estos resultados, no se encontraron diferencias entre la movilidad obtenida entre hombres y mujeres. La separación entre un tabulador administrado por la empresa y otro administrado por el sindicato, permite observar que esta intermediación impone límites a la movilidad laboral de los empleados, aspecto que permite abrir la discusión sobre los límites de supuestos que interpretan a la teoría del Capital Humano sin considerar variables ajenas a la escolaridad de los individuos.
