Mohanan said on Wednesday that he and colleague J. Meenakshi were unhappy at the non-publication of jobs data that had been due for release in December and alleged interference by other state agencies over backdated GDP data. <\/li><li> <em>Business Standard<\/em>\u00a0said the report showed that joblessness stood at 7.8 percent in urban areas compared with 5.3 parts in the countryside. <\/li><li> The data is significant because this was the first comprehensive assessment of India&#8217;s employment situation conducted after\u00a0Modi&#8217;s decision in November 2016 to withdraw most of the country&#8217;s banknotes from circulation overnight, the report said. <\/li><li> ndia&#8217;s economy has been expanding by 7 percent plus annually &#8212; the fastest pace among major economies &#8212; but the uneven growth has meant there are not enough jobs created for millions of young Indians entering the workforce each year. This has put pressure on Modi as he seeks to retain power in a general election due by May. <\/li><li> Earlier this month, the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, a leading independent think-tank, said the country lost as many as 11 million\u00a0jobs\u00a0last year. <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relevant for Sociology, ESSAY &amp; GS:- UPSC-CSE 2019-20 fOUNDATIONS &amp; TEST BATCHES WILL START JUNE 2019 New Delhi:\u00a0India&#8217;s unemployment rate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,114],"tags":[535,540],"class_list":["post-2748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-essay","category-sociology-optional","tag-essay","tag-sociology"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2748"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2749,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2748\/revisions\/2749"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
