I walked past a newstand yesterday. I glanced quickly at a newspaper headline/photo. The gist was the following ...
20,000 people had lined up on about 10 city blocks to apply for 600 government jobs (not sure which ones). The pay for these jobs is miniumum wage which I believe is around 240 reais/month.
That's less than 100 dollars right now.
