City Has More Jobs Than Delhi, ChennaiBy sachiv1, Section Jobs Wanted/Available
National Sample Survey says 751 men and 190 women per thousand have jobs in Kolkata compared to 714 and 112 per thousand in Delhi
Hope floats in Kolkata, with the employment situation here outshining that of Delhi, Chennai and Pune. This is exactly what the latest report of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) says. The average employment status of Kolkata, it adds, is higher than at least at a dozen Class 1 cities. The study covered Class 1 cities (those with a population of 10 lakh and above), Class 2 and Class 3 towns the former with a population over 50,000 and the latter, less. According to the report for 2004-05, the employment status for males in Kolkata is 751 per thousand, while the number of females employed is 190 per thousand.
The employment status for males in Delhi is 714 per thousand and female employment is 112 per thousand. The figure for Chennai is 749 for male and 168 for female per thousand.
Still, while Kolkata is ahead of Delhi, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Nasik, it lags far behind Bangalore 841 male and 202 female per thousand and Mumbai (786 male and 267 female per thousand). But Abhirup Sarkar, noted economist and professor at the Indian Statistical Institute, has a different opinion. "The employment scenario in Kolkata has definitely been looking up in the last few years. But, it might not actually be better than Delhi and Chennai," he said. According to him, the situation has not much to offer qualitywise. The job seekers in Delhi or Chennai, he said, have a more solvent economic background and prefer to wait for the right kind of job. But in Kolkata, people are desparate enough to accept anything and even a lower salary does not deter them. (Source-Indian Express,03/04/07)
