When job generation has declined significantly all over India, Assocham has come out with a report suggesting that Lucknow, Meerut, Kanpur and Allahabad cities have together registered a staggering growth rate of about 68 per cent for job generation between first quarter of 2012 and last quarter of the previous financial year.
The ASSOCHAM said Lucknow generated almost 1,700 jobs in the first quarter of the current financial year as against about 1,100 jobs in the previous quarter thereby registering a growth rate of over 54 per cent.
A study 'Job Trends Across Cities and Sectors', released by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), says job growth was significant in UP in the last few months. Education, banking, insurance, financial services, event management, real estate, information technology (IT/ITeS), human resources, hospitality and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are leading job generating sectors in the state, the study said.
While Meerut registered a growth rate of over 133 per cent in job generation Allahabad registered a growth rate of over 127 per cent and Kanpur registered job generation growth rate of over 24 per cent respectively, according to the ASSOCHAM analysis. National secretary general of ASSOCHAM DS Rawat said that although Uttar Pradesh accounts for a paltry 1.3 per cent in the overall job generation in India, it has undoubtedly emerged as the single most state with all leading cities registering significant growth in job generation.
'India has registered a dip of about 20 per cent in the total job generation during the aforesaid period which showcases a clear slowdown in employment,' said Rawat. 'This basically reinforces the picture that employers in India are turning very cautious in wake of the global economic slowdown which has also lead to a sharp decline in attrition levels at India Inc.' Delhi-NCR generated over 29,000 jobs in the Q1 of the current financial year, while over 1.2 lakh jobs were generated across India, highlights the ASSOCHAM analysis. Besides, Delhi-NCR with a share of about 23 per cent has also generated maximum jobs across different sectors throughout India and in the metros during the last two consecutive quarters there has also been a dip ranging between 14 to 33 per cent across eight metros - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune, highlights the analysis prepared on the basis of data tracked by ASSOCHAM Research Bureau (ARB) from two main sources namely online and print media.
