Mato Grosso do Sul Is Expected to Generate 150,000 Jobs by the End of the Year
In addition to this projection for 2028, the industrial sector of Mato Grosso do Sul estimates the hiring of 150,000 formal workers by the end of this year, a number that could be higher if there were no shortage of workforce placement in the job market.
According to the president of Fiems, Sergio Longen, the state is experiencing a labor shortage, a current difficulty in balancing the social benefits these people have been receiving with the willingness of people to qualify themselves.
MS has great opportunities, most of them free, offered by the S system, which is one of Fiems’ commitments. It is not difficult to find a business owner currently struggling with labor shortages in the pulp, construction, mining, and ethanol sectors. Thus, Longen emphasizes that he understands that social benefits should be reviewed.
Enterprises in Mato Grosso do Sul
One of the most anticipated enterprises in the state is that of Suzano Pulp and Paper, which now plans to invest R$ 22.2 billion in the construction of a new pulp factory, generating thousands of new jobs.
The new Suzano Pulp and Paper factory, to be installed in Ribas do Rio Pardo, aims to generate 13,000 opportunities. The factory would receive investments of R$ 19.3 billion, with an increase in projected expenditures for 2024.
