As a result the unemployment rate also increased. According to the monthly index of naukri.com, there was a decline of 15% in job placements in April 2021. Now when the economy has started getting back on track, things have started improving a bit. According to the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy, the unemployment rate declined to 9.2% in June, 2021, from 11.9% in May, 2021.

The second wave of Covid brought the hiring activities to a temporary halt, but it seems to be improving for some time now. Especially in tech oriented professions.

In the coming times, the demand for youth with technical education and understanding will increase. Salary is increasing by 50% in technology related jobs. This is a great opportunity to be a techie in India, and Bangalore is its stronghold. Jobs have increased in IT, software, healthcare and manufacturing sectors. On the other hand, the employment situation in the travel, tourism and retail sectors is still not good.
According to a report by the Ministry of Statistics (Govt of India), there has been a decrease in organised sector jobs this year.

According to the Business Outlook Survey (BOS) report of British company IHS, the business optimism of the service and manufacturing sector in India between June and October 2021 ranged from 12% to 14%. Japan, Brazil and Russia were also enthusiastic about the manufacturing sector, but not as much as India. 14% of private sector companies in India have shown good prospects for the next year.
