Brazil reported 121,3 thousand formal jobs in September 2026, a 24.7% increase from August, marking the lowest September figure since 2020. The Caged dataset, adjusted for late employer declarations, showed a 43.5% drop compared to September 2025. Employment creation was concentrated in services (administrative and complementary roles) and health/social services, while agriculture lost more jobs than it gained. Regional data shows all five Brazilian regions had positive openings, with São Paulo leading at 19,3 thousand. The average salary for new hires was R$ 2,429.41, slightly lower than August but higher than September 2025. Only Rio Grande do Sul had a net negative balance of 2,900 jobs.
