Unemployment Rate represents a percentage of unemployed workers in relation to the entire Brazilian population in the reported month. A decline in the unemployment rate is an indication of an increase in the purchasing power of the population, which can stimulate the national economy and thus have a positive effect on the Brazilian real quotes.
