According to data released by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea), the number of Brazilians seeking employment for more than two years rose 42.4% between the first quarter of 2015 and the same period in 2019. Since then, the number of people in these conditions has reached 3.3 million. The situation affects women and the North and Northeast regions more intensely. According to Ipea's assessment, unemployment should only begin to subside as of next year.
According to the Valor newspaper, the percentage of long-term unemployed in the country increased from 17.4% in the first quarter of 2015 to 24.8% in the same period this year, reaching a level of 3.3 million people.
According to the G1 website, the study concludes that the Brazilian labor market, therefore, remains quite deteriorated, with large numbers of unemployed, discouraged and underemployed.
