Employment News Weekly was started in the year 1976. For 38 years and in three languages, the publication had been informing millions of educated but unemployed youngsters all over India about job opportunities. It is a weekly journal and is published simultaneously in Hindi, English & Urdu.

The Employment News Weekly understood the pulse of students and job seekers from various streams, searched for opportunities for them and presented them. This is nothing short of a remarkable service and an achievement in itself. Its prime objective was to provide an effective platform on job vacancies, job oriented training programmes, admission notices relating to job oriented courses and result of recruitment examinations. In addition to job vacancies, Rozgar Samachar, in each issue, carries article on job opportunities in various sectors, including emerging sectors.
In the current age of computers and information technology, countless websites have been launched that spread crucial and relevant information to one and all. Employment News Weekly had recently issued a warning cautioning those who are exploiting this wonderful service provided by the Government of India, and making money unlawfully.

Each day, hundreds of thousands of people visit these websites to look for job vacancies. Advertisements on these sites are created in ways that trigger curiosity, mislead and give false hopes. It has also been found that these unscrupulous websites also collect money online in the name of subscription to the website.

In order to prevent this fraud, Employment News Weekly had issued a warning report to the readers recently on its website…

“It has come to our notice that some websites claiming to be sister concerns of Employment News/Rozgar Samachar have been approaching people/ organisations on behalf of Employment News for subscriptions and advertisement. It is hereby informed that Employment News has not authorised any agency to work on its behalf. It does not have any sister concern journal either print edition or web edition.

Key Indicators of Employment and Unemployment in India, 2011-12

The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has released the key indicators of Employment and Unemployment in India,  from the data collected in its 68th round survey conducted during the period July 2011 – June 2012. The NSS surveys on employment and unemployment are conducted quinquennially starting from 27th round (October 1972 – September 1973) and the last quinquennial survey was conducted in NSS 66th round (July 2009- June 2010) for which, the results have already been released. The NSS 68th round was the ninth quinquennial round on the subject. The detailed results of surveys on employment and unemployment are usually brought out by the NSSO through a number of reports. In order to make available the salient results of the surveys, well in advance of the release of its reports, for use in planning, policy formulation, decision support and as input for further statistical exercises, the NSSO has released the key indicators.
The indicators are based on the Central Sample of  1,01,724 households (59,700 in rural areas and 42,024 in urban areas) surveyed from 7,469 villages in rural areas and 5,268 urban blocks spread over all the States and Union Territories except (i) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometres of the bus route and (ii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remained inaccessible throughout the year.

In defining the lead indicators of Labour force participation rate (LFPR i.e. ratio of labour force to population), Worker Population Ratio (WPR i.e. ratio of workforce to population), Proportion Unemployed (PU i.e. ratio of unemployed to population) and Unemployment Rate (UR i.e. ratio of unemployed to labour force) in NSS surveys, persons are classified into various activity categories on the ba­sis of the activities pursued by them during certain speci­fied reference periods. Three reference periods used in NSS surveys are (i) one year (ii) one week and (iii) each day of the reference week.  Based on these three periods, three different mea­sures of activity status are arrived at. Activity status determined on the basis of reference period of one year is known as the Usual Status (US) of a person, that determined on the basis of a reference period of one week is known as the Current Weekly Status (CWS) of the person and the activity status determined on the basis of the activities pursued by a person on each day during the reference week is known as the Current Daily Status (CDS) of the person. In US approach, there are two indicators viz. one based on principal activity called Usual Principal Status (ps) and other based on both principal and subsidiary activities taken together termed as Usual Status (ps+ss). The unit of measurements in case of US and CWS is persons and in case of CDS, it is person-days. The key indicators on employment and unemployment based on 68th round along with the comparable indicators of 66th round  and estimated persons/person-days (in million) in labour force, in workforce and unemployed corresponding to these two rounds are given in Annexure -I and Annexure –II respectively.
