India’s unemployment rate stood at 5.1 per cent in April, with urban areas recording a higher joblessness rate of 6.5 per cent and nearly 14 out of every 100 youth unable to find work, according to the maiden monthly labour force survey released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) on Thursday.
April’s headline unemployment rate was slightly higher than the 4.9 per cent recorded in 2024, as per the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS). However, the NSO emphasised that the figures are not comparable, as the PLFS sampling methodology has been revamped to estimate key employment indicators on a monthly basis.
