Description: Download and read the public, non-identified microdata of
the 'RAIS' (Relação Anual de Informações Sociais), the annual
census of formal employment relationships and establishments
published by the Brazilian Ministry of Labour and Employment
through the 'PDET' FTP server
. Lists the years
and archives available on the server, resolves which regional
or state archive holds a given state, downloads it with an
idempotent local cache, and reads the '7z' archives as a
stream, filtering by state and selecting columns before
anything is kept in memory, so that a single state can be
extracted from a regional file of tens of millions of records.
Handles the two header generations of the files (up to the
'RAIS' 2022 and from the 'RAIS' 2023 onwards) with the same
normalized column names, provides the official record layout
and a helper to consolidate the employment stock, admissions,
separations and December payroll.
