At this rate, the unemployment rate in Indian cities is the lowest since the quarterly periodic labour force survey (PLFS) came into existence in 2018-19.
As per this survey, a person is considered employed if they worked for at least one hour on any day during the seven days preceding the day they are surveyed.
In January-March, India’s urban unemployment rate fell even as the labour force participation rate increased to 48.5 per cent from 48.2 per cent the previous quarter.
