Job creation isn’t the function of the governments and industries alone—the Centre is now looking to conduct a national headcount of the number of people employed by professionals amid the covid-19-induced economic slowdown.
The aim is to have a broader picture of the employment environment, and the job creation potential of a segment that often goes unnoticed as job creators. The survey will be carried out by the labour bureau, the data and statistics wing of the ministry of labour and employment.
“The professional bodies and professionals like lawyers, doctors, charted accountants, architects and many others like them are a good pool of human resource who are employing people. A survey to capture this category of workers will give us a comprehensive picture on the job market,” said a government official who declined to be named.
