Micro and small businesses (MSEs) were responsible for 57.5% of the 201,705 businesses created in the country with a formal employment contract in June, the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae) reported today (1st).
In the month, micro and small businesses generated 115,907 jobs, while medium and large enterprises (MGEs) contributed 63,953 of the new jobs. Thus, of every ten jobs generated, six are in MSEs.
A survey by Sebrae – based on data from the new General Registry of Employed and Unemployed Persons (Caged) – shows that the sectors that led job creation among SMEs were Services (49,018 vacancies); Commerce (27,443) and Construction (18,753).
In the item of medium and large companies, the segments that created the most jobs were: Services (32,024 new vacancies), Manufacturing Industry (13,101) and Agriculture (8,343).
Proportionally, the states in which SMEs created the most jobs were Amazonas (2,532), with a balance of 16.47 jobs for every thousand created; Acre (629 jobs and a balance of 15.31 for every thousand jobs created); and Maranhão, with 3,494 and a balance of 15.28 for every thousand jobs created.
