India’s workforce story is bigger than most people realize 👀
The 6th Quarterly Employment Survey covered 10,870 establishments across 9 sectors…
and the estimates show:
🏭 Manufacturing alone employs 1.39 crore workers
🎓 Education sector has the highest number of establishments
💻 IT/BPOs runs 37.32 lakh jobs with just 2,085 establishments
🏗️ Construction recorded the lowest estimated workforce
What’s interesting?
Just 3 sectors — Manufacturing, Education & Financial Services — make up 75%+ of all establishments in the survey.
Meanwhile, sectors like IT/BPO prove that fewer companies can still employ massive numbers of people.
At a time when “Cockroach Janta Party” and survival-mode business discussions are trending, this data shows which sectors are actually carrying India’s employment engine. 🇮🇳
Data tells a very different story than headlines.
