New Delhi, Mar 20 (UNI) Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the loss of 27,000 jobs every single day of 2018 due to the policies of the NDA Government, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that “India’s PM is a joke”.
In a post on social media, Rahul, posting on his twitter handle a media report that said quoted data from the NSSO’s Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017-18 to show that actual size of India’s workforces has shrunk to 28.6 crore, said,’’I thought India was producing 450 jobs a day. Turns out Modi’s policies destroyed 1 crore jobs in 2018.
That’s 27,000 jobs lost every single day of 2018. India’s PM is a joke. ‘’
Rahul also posted a report from a national daily which said that for the first time since 1993-94, the actual size of India’s male workforce, or men who are working, has shrunk.
Data from the NSSO’s Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017-18 account for 28.6 crore employed male in the country.
This is the first instance of a drop in the male workforce that steadily swelled from 21.9 crore in 1993-94 to 30.4 crore in 2011-12 when the last NSSO survey was conducted. This suggests fewer men were employed in 2017-18 compared to five years ago.
