Food retail paulista hired more people last year

The supermarkets of Sao Paulo finished the year with a positive balance in hiring, the Apas (São Paulo supermarket Association) who made studies with data from the Ministry of labour.
On balance, there were about 5,000 vacancies added, against the rest of the State, where were closed 402,000 jobs. Companies hired even with worsening sales. There was a fall of 2.73% on total revenue of its members-still, above the result of the GDP.
Even with this loss in general numbers, is a sector called the basic needs of the population and, therefore, cannot do without labor, according to the Association.
The high turnover remains a problem for the supermarkets. The volume of signings was 45 times the size of the balance, and the layoffs, 44.
