In late July, Brazil’s Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Profissional e Empreendedorismo (Sedepe) published 773 new job openings across Pernambuco, with salaries ranging from roughly R$1,621 to R$4,000 per month. A concurrent study by Senior Sistemas surveyed nearly one million workers and found that average monthly earnings peak at R$5,512 for employees aged 46‑55, while the overall average salary rose 8.3 % year‑over‑year to R$4,704. The August report reinforced this pattern, noting that younger workers (18‑24) earn about R$1,800 but experience the fastest annual wage growth at 10.6 %. Earnings increase with experience, reach a mid‑career high in the late 40s, then modestly decline after age 55 as many reduce hours or retire partially. ProftLab’s estimates placed average monthly wages at R$2,700 for ages 25‑34, R$3,600 for 35‑44, and R$3,900 for 45‑54. The IBGE recorded a real average monthly income of R$3,225 for all Brazilian workers in 2024. The studies also highlighted a gender pay gap, with women earning on average 16.8 % less than men. Together, the data illustrate a broader trend of rising wages, pronounced age‑related earnings peaks, and persistent gender disparities in Brazil’s labour market. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: Brazilian workers earn highest salaries at ages 46‑55 Brazilian workers’ salaries peak at R$ 5,512 monthly between ages 46‑55, with rapid growth for younger workers and a gradual decline after mid‑career, according to studies by Senior Sistemas and ProftLab. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-workers-earn-highest-salaries-at-ages-4655 ### 2026-07-28: Brazil sees 773 new jobs in Pernambuco and salary rise to R$5,512 for ages 46‑55 Sedepe listed 773 Pernambuco jobs with salaries up to R$4,000, while Senior Sistemas' survey shows Brazil's average pay at R$4,704 and a peak of R$5,512 for workers aged 46‑55. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-sees-773-new-jobs-in-pernambuco-and-salary-rise-to-r5512-for-ages-4655 --- Cite as: Brazilian wage trends by age.
