With The Recent Resurgence In Jobs In The Oil And Gas Sector, Macaé Gains Economic Momentum While Other Sectors Follow Suit
The Brazilian oil and gas sector shows the first signs of recovery, and the city where this statement is most pronounced is in the municipality of Macaé, affectionately known as the National Capital of Oil, located inland in Rio de Janeiro. With new companies setting up in the city since last year, employment and economic statistics have remained positive, according to the Ministry of Labor and Employment (See the numbers and justifications by accessing the article here).
Due to the severe economic recession that affected all of Brazil, especially Macaé, the brutal drop in oil prices, and disinvestment from the state-owned Petrobras, the situation became unsustainable. Many companies could not survive and left the city; consequently, thousands of people lost their jobs, and many business owners were very doubtful about whether or not to have hope for investing in the city.

After 4 years on the tightrope, the price of oil finally began to rise, Petrobras put its plans into action to reduce costs, the government started interventions to relax the laws for oil companies, the Brazilian oil market was opened to foreign companies, and the major milestone of the oil auctions attracted many global firms, as Petrobras lost the obligation to explore all the assets in our waters.
Well, after many ups and downs, the plans started to work, the auctions were successful, and the approvals to start maintenance shutdowns on platforms in the Campos Basin are in full swing. In May, many companies specialized in this type of service began to hire, rehire, and call back many former employees to their staff, you can check which companies these are in the article we published this week.
The hotel sector began to become more active in the city, commerce is getting busier, and if you look at Praia da Barra, you can clearly see an increase in the number of support vessels. Yesterday (14), we counted 25 docked vessels there, which were the ones in my line of sight; there should have been many more in operation. Check out the short video we recorded from the coast:
Furthermore, the City Airport will now receive commercial flights from all over Brazil, which will solve a logistics problem that the city has been facing for many years, as people from all over the country and even the world come to Macaé, and for that, it has been necessary to make many stops and take numerous ground transports to reach the municipality. The company responsible for the works is a mining company that won the bidding last month. Check out the details of these works here.
