Tier-II cities pip metros in job creation
01/02/2010 |
| Medium size towns, known as Tier-II cities, have outpaced the metropolitans in creation of white collar jobs in the private sector, indicating a revival in the overall employment market, a study has revealed.
Employment opportunities in the private sector increased by close to 30 per cent in the second rung cities, while in top metros, they improved by about six per cent in the first seven months of the current fiscal, the study by Assocham found.
However, the job creation in Delhi NCR showed a decline of 23.42 per cent and in Mumbai by 3.28 per cent this fiscal compared to last financial year.
But bulk of the employment among the metros got generated in the two cities, with Delhi claiming 34 per cent and Mumbai over 13 per cent share between April-October this fiscal.
For smaller cities, the job market worsened signaling “the benefits of the spur packages have yet to penetrate down,” the chamber said.
Assocham president Swati Piramal articulated concern over the lack of opportunities in the small cities stating “migration of youth towards bigger towns would continue.”
In all, the study found 3,21,294 job offers on different portals between April-October 2009 against 3,00,000 in the same period last year. |
