Employment rises 34 per cent to 12.7 crore in 8 years to 2013
Uttar Pradesh was the top employment generator among big states in eight years ended 2013, creating jobs at over double the national average rate, according to the Sixth Economic Census released on Wednesday. The number of employed in the country rose 34.35% in eight years to 12.77 crore. "That means that it had grown at an annual rate of over 4% when the population is growing at 2%," National Statistical Commission chairman Pronab Sen said while releasing the report. The census does not include employment in agriculture, public administration, defence and compulsory social security services activities. The employment growth would have been lower if these sectors were included.
