According to a quarterly employment survey issued on Monday by the labour ministry, total employment created by nine key industries stood at 3.10 crore in the July-September 2021 quarter, which is 2,00,000 more than the April-June period.
According to the quarterly employment survey (QES) report given by Union Labour Minister Bhupender Yadav, overall employment in the nine specified industries in April-June 2021 was 3.08 crore.
The increase reflects an uptick in economic activity following the relaxation of lockdown restrictions imposed by governments to prevent the spread of the virus after the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country in April 2021.
Manufacturing, Construction, Trade, Transportation, Education, Health, Accommodation and Restaurant, IT/BPO, and Financial Services are the nine sectors that account for the bulk of non-farm employment.
The survey is limited to businesses with ten or more employees. Yadav added in the report’s release that these studies will help the government fulfil its aim of last-mile delivery and evidence-based policy decisions for employees. He expressed optimism that India will soon be able to emerge from the pandemic’s third wave.
