What we extracted from this document (1)

According to Agência Brasil, a DIEESE study estimated 4.44 million potential jobs, summed over 2014–2017, associated with Lava Jato (not people laid off; the article uses the terms 'jobs' and 'positions' without that caveat), and a study by UFRJ and Uerj estimated at R$142 billion the losses in the construction, shipbuilding, heavy engineering and metalworking sectors.

Limitations: Estimates by modeling, not direct measures of causality; other economists attribute the recession mainly to economic policy (see fonte). Methodological details in another record of the archive.
