August 17 - With a new expansion in the employment level in July, Fiesp (Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo) revised its projection for the growth in the number of vacancies generated in the manufacturing industry from 3,5% to 4% São Paulo in 2004.

August 16 - The bride is so nervous that, upon arriving at Nossa Senhora do Carmo church, in Bela Vista, she realizes that she forgot the bouquet. She calls her fiancé's cell phone, who runs to get him. But he doesn't deliver the flowers directly to the bride, after all, according to tradition, he can only see her on the way to the altar. Problem solved: it's 18:15 pm and the bride enters the church, to the sound of the wedding march. On the one hand, we have a group that thinks a lot about getting married and, on the other, certain young people who get married early precisely for that reason, as if marriage gave meaning to life. Basically, the motivation of both groups is the same”, says sociologist Elisabete Dória Bilac, researcher at Nepo (Population Studies Center) at Unicamp, who works on the topic of family.
