Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord shall surround his people both now and forever more.

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord!
Psalms 125:1-4; Psalms 31:24

Rio de Janeiro is not an economic reference in Brazil,
stop dirtying our image with this city, we have 27 states and several big cities ... São Paulo is the great economic center of the country

The reporting and those interviewed are telling half the truth and omitting another side, on the video a young black man said his mom lost her job and he moved to favela and street? At the same time if a job is offered to this young man he will likely refuse because he's used to relying on his mom. Brazilians at its majority relies on their parents much longer than in any other country in the world.
Another aspect is that many jobs are available but there's no capable people to fullfill the positions as recently Amazon opened two hundred posts but not a single one was filled
