Labour Ministry releases report on 2nd round of Quarterly Employment Survey

Total employment in nine sectors rose to 3.10 crore during the July-September period of 2021, an increase of 2 lakh compared to June quarter last year, according to a quarterly employment survey released by the Union labour ministry recently.

 

The higher employment number also reflects an improvement in economic activities after states lifted restrictions that were imposed to curb spreading of coronavirus infections in the wake of the second COVID wave in April 2021.

Key Highlights

  • Union Labour Minister Bhupender Yadav released the Quarterly Employment Survey (QES) report which showed that the total employment number in the 2021 September quarter stood at 3.10 crore in the nine sectors. In April-June period last year, the same stood at 3.08 crore. 
  • The total employment for the nine sectors taken collectively was reported as 2.37 crore in the sixth EC (Economic Census) (2013-14). The QES is part of All-India Quarterly Establishment-based Employment Survey (AQEES). 
  • Manufacturing, Construction, Trade, Transport, Education, Health, Accommodation and Restaurant, IT/ BPO and Financial Services are the nine sectors that account for a majority of the total employment in the non-farm establishments, covered under the QES. 
  • This is the second report in the series and the first report was for the 2021 June quarter. The survey covered establishments with 10 or more employees.
