The unemployment rate remained elevated in the week ended March 11. It has been rising steadily and the labour participation rate, which has not been improving, actually worsened in the last week. The unemployment rate was 7% and the LPR was 42.6% during the week.
PM is often reminded that during his pre-election campaigns he had promised to provide jobs to 20 million people if he were to be elected. The ask on the jobs front is much bigger. But what M delivered so far ? Big disappointment.
Demonetisation led to a very sharp fall in the count of the unemployed and the marginally unemployed. The count of employment did not change significantly but, the count of unemployed fell very sharply.
Twenty million jobs are not enough. If the ask was 80 million in 2016 then it will be more than that by 2019. What will the politicians promise us around this time?
