About

With the impact of COVID and slowdown of the economy Haryana did not succeed in creating employment. Haryana’s unemployment rate is 26.4% that is nearly four times the national average of 6.9%.

Unemployment spiked in the state due to dip in jobless figures in January 2021. The month-wise report of CMIE disclosed unemployment scenario was subject to market volatility throughout the year.

This condition of unemployment indicates Government’s inability to help the MSMEs to recover from COVID’s impact. Moreover, reservation laws have also accelerated negative sentiments in the service sector.
