The monthly employment survey, disclosed by the General registry of employees and Unemployed (caged), an organ linked to the Ministry of Labor (MTE), revealed that the city of Campina Grande dismissed more than it contracted over the last month of January.

For the President of the House of shopkeepers – CDL of Campina Grande, the situation is a reflection of the lack of security. "If these resources were to be applied to open new stores, this would generate jobs, generate new recipes for the municipality, help the economy. Or, then, in staff training, training, it would be good for the traders. But it is money that is being invested to contain violence and is an important sum, "he lamed.

Another factor pointed out by the shopkeeper is related to the high taxes paid by those who undertake and employ. "We live a very difficult moment of widespread mistrust of political and moral viewpoint. The economic inconsistency of the country results in the elevation of some taxes and this has to reflect on something. Unfortunately, it ends up reflecting on the dismissal of some workers or even the bankruptcy of some companies, "he said.
