PLFS data says share of manufacturing up
SHIVA RAJORA

The share of workers in manufacturing still remains below the pre-pandemic levels while there is an increase in the proportion of people in agriculture, shows the latest Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) data.

The data shows the share of workers in manufacturing is 11.4 per cent while the pre-pandemic level was 12.1 per cent. And, the share of people in agriculture has increased to 46.1 per cent from 42.5 per cent during the same period.

Experts attribute the decline in the share of workers in manufacturing to a slow revival in the sector, coupled with changes in migration patterns of workers from labour-surplus states.
