According to the IBGE, the number of underutilized reached a record of 28.4 million. Total of those who gave up looking for a job also set a record and reached 4.9 million.
Unemployment in Brazil was 12.5%, on average, in the quarter ended April 2019, according to data published by IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). The index rose compared to the previous quarter, from November 2018 to January 2019 (12%). However, in comparison with the same quarter of last year (12.9%), the result was low.
According to figures released by the IBGE, after 16 consecutive quarters of a fall, employment in the private sector with a backlog increased by 1.5% in the quarter ended in April 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.
With the Brazilian economy practically at a standstill, the labor market is throwing thousands of Brazilians into informality. The employed population even increased again in April, but a slice of the workers who work in the private sector with a work permit is practically stable.
