Unemployment at 5.6% in May, rural farm jobs slump

India's unemployment rate rose to 5.6% in May from 5.1% in April, driven largely by a shift in rural employment away from agriculture, according to data released Monday by the ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI).

Unemployment among women was marginally higher at 5.8%, compared to 5.6% for men.

The share of rural workers aged 15 and above employed in the primary sector, largely agriculture, fell to 43.5% in May from 45.9% in April. This shift coincided with the end of the Rabi harvest season, which typically brings a seasonal dip in farm-related employment.
