91.3 million including daily wagers and those working with small traders were out of jobs in April followed by 18.2 million employment loss of entrepreneurs, and 17.8 million among salaried class, CMIE data shows


A jobs crisis is staring the country in the face as several crucial sectors of the economy have been severely impacted by the coronavirus-triggered lockdown. It is threatening to push more people into 

poverty  both formal and engulfing informal sector workers

The latest monthly data from economic think-tank CMIE showed that India’s 

unemployment  rate shot up to 23.5% in April. Among large states, unemployment was highest in Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, and Bihar at 49.8%, 47.1%, and 46.6% respectively. It was lowest in Punjab, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana at 2.9%, 3.4%, and 6.2%, the CMIE survey results showed.

The latest figures for the week up to May 3 showed the unemployment rate rising even further to 27.1%, the highest so far, according to the CMIE jobs survey.


“The estimated loss of employment between March and April 2020 is 114 million. Given that the total count of employed is around 400 million, the loss of 114 million implies that one in every four employed persons lost their jobs,” said Mahesh Vyas, managing director and CEO of CMIE. He said in his post on Tuesday that data up to May 3 indicated the rate could climb further.
