INDIA'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE dropped to a new low of 4.7% in November, according to the statistics ministry's latest monthly Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) report published on Monday.
Joblessness fell sharply from 5.2% in October even as the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) rose from the previous month.
"Overall, the trends suggest strengthening labour market conditions, supported by gains in rural employment, rising female participation, and a gradual recovery in urban labour demand," the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) said in a statement.
At 4.7%, the November unemployment rate for Indians aged 15 years and above is the lowest since MoSPI started releasing monthly jobs data starting from April as part of a revamped survey design.
