1 million jobs created in September
November 21, 2020
At least 1.04 million new workers joined the formal workforce in September, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) stated in its payroll records on Friday. This is the 5th month in a row that new additions have been up after falling sharply in April, following the pan-India lockdown imposed in March.
The provisional records for September pegged the new additions at 1,047,167, even as updated facts for July and August confirmed 668,384 and 719,116 new jobs, respectively.
In October, EPFO had said that 669,914 clean subscribers were brought in August. Similarly, in October, it had stated that 648,077 sparkling subscribers have been added in July, which changed into 20,000 less than what it claimed on Friday.
The retirement fund frame said the gradual boom in payroll additions was a demonstration of a robust restoration to pre-covid-19 levels. EPFO stated over the last three months, Maharashtra, Haryana, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka were “at the forefront of the employment healing”.
