The average income of workers rose to R$ 3,208 in 2024. The figure was R$ 3,094 in 2023. The survey is from IBGE. The comparison shows a relevant advance as it considers all types of occupation.

The Federal District presented the highest average income in the country during the period, reaching R$ 5,037. São Paulo followed with R$ 3,884. These values reinforce the concentration of income in more developed centers.

Maranhão and Ceará recorded the lowest values. In Maranhão, the average was R$ 2,051. In Ceará, it reached R$ 2,053. These states remain below the national standard.

Regional Differences Persist Regarding Average Income

The North and Northeast regions continue to lag behind the Brazilian average. In the North, the income was R$ 2,450. In the Northeast, it was R$ 2,229.

These numbers represent 76.4% and 69.5% of the national average. The gap remains wide, indicating a historical regional inequality.

Some of these contrasts consistently appear in various surveys. Nevertheless, the new data helps to visualize the current scenario.

Race and Gender Still Influence Income

The survey also revealed significant disparities among racial groups. The occupied white population earned about 65.9% more than black or brown individuals. This difference encompasses all types of work and remains stable over the years.

The hourly income shows the same trend. Whites earned R$ 24.60. Blacks and browns earned R$ 15. The gap is striking.

Furthermore, men earned 27.2% more than women in 2024. This difference repeats in a large part of occupations and reinforces an unequal pattern.

Main Job Earnings Increase

The average income of the main job rose from R$ 3,002 in 2023 to R$ 3,108 in 2024. The growth was 3.5%. In the accumulated period of 2023-2024, the real increase reached 10.8%.

This movement indicates a slight improvement in purchasing power, albeit gradually.

Occupations with Highest Earnings

Directors and managers had the highest average income in 2024. The average was R$ 8,721. Following them were military personnel, police officers, and firefighters, with R$ 6,749. After that came professionals in sciences and intellectuals, with R$ 6,558.

These groups typically report the highest values in the survey.

Extreme Poverty Shows Decline

The population living in extreme poverty fell from 4.4% in 2023 to 3.5% in 2024. This represents 1.9 million fewer people in this condition.

The decline also occurred in overall poverty, which decreased from 27.3% to 23.1%. That’s 8.6 million fewer people.

There is still significant racial inequality. Among black individuals, 25.8% were in poverty. Among browns, the rate was 29.8%. Among the white population, the percentage was 15.1%.

The survey reinforces that inequalities persist despite advancements in average income.
