Excerpted from the Brazil Career Guide
Industrial employment continues to grow, according to the Brazilian
Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the nation’s
statistical organization. Notable in employee growth are
manufacturers of general machinery and equipment, transport
equipment, and food/beverage processing. The metals sector
experienced job losses. According to Brazil’s Industrial Machinery
and Equipment Association (Abimaq), sales were 36 percent higher and
exports 45 percent higher than in the same period the previous year.
In addition, the workforce, estimated at 211,000, had grown by almost 10
percent year on year. Much of this strong increase is attributed to
exports of equipment of Brazilian companies to French auto maker PSA
Peugeot Citroen for its new plant in Slovakia.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
