Rousseff Bedrock Turns to Quicksand as Brazil Job Loss Rises

Luciano Neri, an unemployed former shipyard worker who backed Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff for a second term, now second-guesses his vote. Having lost his job last month, he’s taking a course to become a bus driver.

“She screwed up,” Neri, 37, said while sipping a beer in a sleepy plaza of Maragogipe, in Bahia state. “I ask myself if when she hands over the government, it’s going to be in debt and there won’t be employment in Brazil.”
