Mato Grosso do Sul Seeks Immigrants to Fill 25 Thousand Job Openings Amid Labor Shortage.

Mato Grosso do Sul is facing a challenging moment in its labor market. The State has about 25 thousand job openings but is unable to find enough workers to fill them. This labor shortage is a significant challenge, and the situation becomes even more complex with the growth of the local economy.

To address this issue, the Federation of Industries of Mato Grosso do Sul (Fiems) has made an agreement with the Paraguay-Brazil Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). The goal is to attract immigrants, especially Paraguayan workers, and regularize their status in Brazil.

The Historical Presence of Immigrants in the State

The labor shortage is not a recent issue. For a long time, the presence of immigrants has been notable in Mato Grosso do Sul. In cities like Três Lagoas, there is a significant colony of Haitians who have settled in the region and have integrated into the local job market.

Agreement for Regularization and Training to Address the Labor Shortage

The protocol of interest signed between Fiems, MTE, and the Chamber of Commerce of Paraguay includes the issuance of essential documents, such as CPF and work permits, specifically for Paraguayans aiming to work in Brazil.

This agreement also aims to ensure that Paraguayan workers have access to rights and benefits.

In addition, Portuguese courses and micro-certifications will be offered. Senai will be responsible for the training, adapting it to the needs of local industries. This initiative is an attempt to resolve the labor shortage and facilitate the entry of workers into the job market.

Combating Human Trafficking

The Superintendent of Labor and Employment in Mato Grosso do Sul, Alexandre Moraes Cantero, emphasized that this measure aims to combat human trafficking and guarantee workers’ rights.

He stated that the intention is to promote inclusion in the formal workforce and provide opportunities for immigrants.

“This is an opportunity to assist the productive sector, promote inclusion in the formal workforce, and ensure that workers have guaranteed rights.”

Despite the search for jobs, there are still many vacancies open, especially in the expanding pulp sector in the region.

The labor shortage has been an obstacle to the growth of these sectors, which require a specific number of workers.

Challenges in Commerce and Other Sectors Arising from Labor Shortages

Commerce and other sectors, such as supermarkets, are also facing difficulties due to the lack of committed labor. The merchants point to the lack of workers as one of the reasons for the current situation.

Moreover, low wages and dependence on government assistance are factors that hinder the hiring of new workers.

The placement for job vacancies is also a challenge, as it is often necessary for workers to stay in neighboring cities, leading to resistance.

Expectations for the State’s Job Market

With the new agreement and the arrival of Paraguayan workers, there is hope that the situation will improve.

The goal is for these immigrants to help reduce the labor deficit in the State, benefiting industries, commerce, and expanding sectors.

The process of regularization and training is crucial to ensure that these workers can contribute significantly to the economy of Mato Grosso do Sul.
