Harmonized database Work and Social Security Card (CTPS)/Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS)/New General Register of Employed and Unemployed Persons (CAGED)
The number of jobs created for immigrant workers in the informal market fluctuated negatively in June (-5.3%), after successive months of growth, although the balance remains positive (Graph 12).
The month's performance was largely determined by the reduction in job creation for workers with high school and university degrees (Graph 13).
In the South, the number of jobs created was over three times higher than in the Southeast, which was in second place (Map 4).
