Jan 25th, 2011 - 10:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 07%+ more jobs in the election year, following -0.6% jobs in the (more typical previous non-election year.
More money flowing through low-employment sectors of mineral ore mining and agro-business.
More jobs created in (highly-pensioned) government jobs ; many fewer *Brasilian* jobs in the non-governmental advanced-manufacturing sector.
Some movement out of the black economy into registered jobs, in spite of the 100% overheads employers pay on each registered job.
But what is the real increase in people earning a living? .... Hard to say with such a huge part of the potential workforce employed in the 'unregistered sector'.
Typical mis-informed tucano talk. And just for the record, in spite of the currency issue, manufacturing jobs kept increasing more than jobs in sectors; this is due to domestic consumption instead of exports.

Re: #6. Not sure if your toucan is Lupi (new minister of Labour) or me @ #5, but we 'two can' talk about the economy.
Jan 26th, 2011 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lupi is 'talking up' the economy. The link you provided does not much support your assertion about the predominance of manufacture.
Miriam Leitão is a rather good commentator on matters economic but you could have found a more appropriate reference - for instance one that compares domestic and export driven new employment.
You may be using second-hand argument - which is understandable if you are not living in Brasil at the moment, or you may be talking up the economy yourself - however, I know the difficulty of contracting a building/construction team at the moment, so one part of the economy is thriving!
You could try comparing the % increase in 'government' & ONG jobs to the % increase in industrial manufacture. It is my belief that the machine-of-government is grossly over-staffed and grossly under-efficient (except when it comes to taxing the population, where it is highly efficient).
You may be right overall, but your assertions need some evidence. Check out my comments @ 5 and see if they hold up.
We can take my points one at a time, if you like, and see where the truth lays.
