Can’t compare NSSO jobs data to PLFS, says centre| Ghanti Bajao

Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Statistics, Programme Implementation & Planning Rao Inderjit Singh was responding to a query raised by Amar Singh during Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha, asking for the government’s reaction to 7.8 per cent youth being unemployed.
The minister said that previously, the survey used to be conducted every five years, but in 2016- 2017, the government felt that “five years becomes too long a period”. The government felt that it would be better if it was conducted every year, he told the House.
