Brazil Has Some Economic Sectors That Continue to Generate Many Job Openings Even Amid the Crisis and the Pandemic

The pandemic caught the world by surprise, causing the global GDP to shrink by 4.2% in 2020. Brazil saw its GDP decline by 4.1% last year. This situation made job openings extremely rare, increasing unemployment across the country. However, some economic sectors, such as construction, e-commerce, IT, and hospital health, continued hiring even during the pandemic.

UOL published a lengthy article showcasing some economic sectors. One example is entrepreneur Ricardo Zanlorenzi, who saw his company in the IT sector finish the year 2020 on a high note and start 2021 with 17 filled job openings. Nexcore, in the technology field, is projected to grow around 35% in 2021.

“The IT sector experienced a 20% increase in hiring in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period the previous year,” highlighted José Tortato, business manager at the National Employment Bank. In this sector, the most sought-after job openings were for IT technician, systems analyst, and developers.

With more people working from home, the construction sector was positively impacted: “Many people discovered that their home was not quite ready for home office, and sought to renovate their indoor spaces,” noted Tortato. Thus, job openings for masons, helpers, inspectors, and safety technicians also remained high.

Job Openings in Hospital Health

Another sector that has had and still has many job openings is hospital health. Unfortunately, the pandemic necessitated the construction of hospitals and the hiring of thousands of new professionals to work on the front lines of the pandemic. Evidence of this is a 17% increase in hiring in 2021 compared to the same period last year.
