Construction indices during the pandemic
When analyzing the industry and its market, several factors that work together led to this good performance. One of them is related to the personal data of consumers. Due to social isolation and home office work, many people have turned their eyes to the environment in which they live, seeking to renovate and replace their existing property with a larger and more comfortable space. This behavior heats up and promotes the sale of new properties.
As it was one of the segments that continued its activities, the works, as they did not require highly qualified labor, guaranteed several job opportunities for the most economically vulnerable people. It was the sector that created the most opportunities, both with a formal contract and with informal or self-employed workers last year.
