In October, Rio de Janeiro closed a net 9,942 jobs, the worst balance in the country at the time.
Experts say the performance of formal employment in the state of Rio de Janeiro in November this year is an indication of local economic rebound.
The end of the year and the season’s economic boom were key to this performance.
