CHANDIGARH: Haryana has topped in providing maximum number of jobs in the manufacturing sector in urban areas among major states, industry body Assocham said on Wednesday.
A release issued by chamber said that as per the latest data from the National Sample Survey Office, as many as 319 people per 1,000 were employed in the industry in urban Haryana and 306 in Gujarat as against the national average of 242.
It said that although the services sector remains the biggest source of employment in urban areas in the country, these two states have managed to ensure that industry too provides a major avenue for jobs. "The two states were in the top in terms of the industry providing the maximum employment in the urban areas among the major states," it added.
Although ahead of Gujarat in jobs in industrial sector, Haryana lagged behind it in employment of urban youth in services sector. As against the national average of 683 urban people per 1,000 finding jobs in the services sector, 641 found jobs in Gujarat and 627 in Haryana, it said.
Assocham president Rajkumar Dhoot said the share of industry in the overall employment must grow so that more and more people find jobs in the manufacturing sector. "Though the share of the industrial sector in total employment is more than its contribution in the GDP, we need to increase its role in the overall economy," he said.
