Government Reports Over 17 Crore Jobs Created in India from 2014 to 2024
Between 2014 and 2024, the Indian government reported creating over 17 crore jobs, averaging 1.7 crore annually, with a notable rise in formal sector employment and a decline in the national unemployment rate to 3.1%. Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted improvements in youth employment and graduate employability, citing government schemes and economic growth. However, regional disparities persist, as Punjab's youth unemployment remains above the national average despite recent declines. The government contrasted these gains with slower job growth during the previous UPA administration.
