Bustling labour markets in April

The labour force increased by 8.8 million - from 428.4 million in March 2022 to 437.2 million in April 2022

The Indian labour markets saw substantially increased activity during April 2022. The labour force swelled and employment increased handsomely during the month. People seeking employment increased in large numbers and the Indian economy was able to provide additional employment in large numbers as well. But, the additional jobs that became available were inadequate compared to the demand. As a result, April also saw an increase in the people left unemployed and the unemployment rate inched up a bit compared to its level in March.
