The Brazilian city of Salvador is currently experiencing one of the biggest economic downturns. Its total GDP decreased by 18% in constant value terms over 2011-2016 and was the worst performing city among Euromonitor International's 126 cities. The city experienced the biggest loss of jobs in manufacturing, although its services industries have managed to offset this with positive growth and reduce the unemployment rate to 11% in 2016 - down from 16% in 2011.

Salvador's labour productivity level was lower than the average for the rest of Brazil by 27% in 2016. The low qualification level of the city's workforce (only 10% of Salvador's population aged 15+ had a higher education qualification in 2016), along with high levels of informal activity and inadequate infrastructure curb the economic strength of Salvador.
The city is characterised by a higher unemployment rate as well as a smaller average household size than elsewhere in Brazil. These factors, combined with a lack of economic efficiency, dampen Salvador's per household disposable income, which was 2.4% lower than in the rest of the country in 2016.
Average household consumer expenditure (excluding transport and housing) in Salvador was marginally lower by 1% than in the rest of Brazil in 2016. Clothing and footwear received as much as 33% less spending in Salvador compared to the rest of the country.
In 2016, expenditure on housing and transport was 1.6% less in Salvador when compared to rest of the country. Even though consumer expenditure on housing was 27% higher in Salvador when compared to the rest of the country, it was cancelled out by much lower expenditure on transportation (-24%) as a result of the lower motorisation rate in the city.
