- Note: all statistics are based on a sample of 5654 cities in each year. Column (1) reports average job creation in Brazil, column (2) reports job destruction, column (3) reports Net growth (job creation minus job destruction), and column (4) reports job reallocation (job creation plus job destruction). The statistic 14.6 for 1996 implies that job creation rate in Brazil over the period analyzed was 14.6% of the average total employment. Summary statistics in the last line report the average across all city-year cells. All values are weighted by year-employment size
