The number of employees in Brazil's mining and quarrying sector is expected to grow modestly from 2024 to 2028, with an increase from 185.09 thousand in 2024 to 186.09 thousand by 2028. This indicates an approximate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.13% over the forecast period. Notably, this growth reflects a slow but steady trend projected to take place after the recorded figures in 2023, suggesting gradual recovery or stability in the sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in mining processes could influence employment needs.
Global demand for minerals, specifically those crucial for renewable energy technologies, might drive workforce changes.
Regulatory and environmental policies that affect mining operations could impact employment.
