Brazil's unemployment has hit a record low for the fourth straight month. The government's IBGE statistics bureau said that November unemployment dipped to 5.7 percent, the lowest since officials began using the current methodology in 2002, according to AP. In the same month a year ago, unemployment stood at 7.4 percent. And last month the jobless rate was 6.1 percent. The government says Friday that increased activity in the auto, fuel and services sectors all jumped from the same month a year ago. Brazil's economy remains robust despite the global downturn, largely on the back of domestic consumption. The government is expecting the economy to grow by 7.5 percent this year.
