The amount of Brazilian people who are employed with some function of work already surpassed that of the pre-pandemic period: around 98.3 million at the end of June 2022 against 94.2 million referring to the same period of 2019. However, the growth of opportunities is due to the fact that workers with low education are being requested more frequently for jobs that pay lower wages. This information came from the bulletin of the Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies (DIEESE), which was released on September 13th.

The institute ended up exposing some data collected by the IBGE and the Continuous PNAD, where we can see that the number of people employed with some function had a growth of 9.9% in Brazil between the second quarter of 2021 and that of 2022. However, the occupational group that stood out the most in the expansion was those who work in the areas of service provision and sellers from trades and markets, representing 17.9%, right behind installation and machine operators and assemblers, with 15,8%.
Among the categories of directors and managers, the growth rate of employed persons rose by 3%. Among science professionals and intellectuals, the increase was approximately 3.4%, according to DIEESE. The classification of these activities in general are those that require having completed higher education as a requirement, that is, they require a diploma to perform the function.
Furthermore, the data showed that the occupation had a very remarkable growth, mainly among the professionals who do not have education or who have less than one year of study, representing about 31,4%. On the other hand, 14% represent those with incomplete secondary education, and a growth of only 3.6% for those with completed secondary education. For those who have completed higher education, this increase was approximately 6.1%.
Now, for this last category, when we analyze this increase of almost 800 thousand people in the second quarter this year, DIEESE identified that only 160,000 of them were actually able to occupy vacancies that are in accordance with their training. The rest of these workers, around 78.6%, are performing functions that are not exactly related to the higher education in which they graduated.
When it comes to the subject of average income, it is noted that those who work in functions of complete higher education are those who had the greatest loss of income, of about -5.6%, coming right behind people who have incomplete secondary education, equivalent to only -1.8% in the loss of income.
