IT/BPO sector created maximum jobs during last quarter: report
Ninety per cent of the new jobs created during the last quarter were direct recruitments by employers while the rest were done through contracts, a latest government survey said.
Most of the increase in employment of direct category workers was accounted for by the IT/BPO sector, Labour Bureau said in its survey report for October-December quarter.
During this period, employment rose by 6.38 lakh over the July-September quarter, an apparent reflection of the gradual turnaround of the economy, the report said.
Out of 6.38 lakh, employment in the direct category rose by 5.79 lakh while employment of contract workers increased by only 0.59 lakh, it said.
