Unemployment shadow on Odisha government’s growth claims

 The rising unemployment rate in Odisha has taken the shine off the State’s growth claim. Even as the State improved its economic growth to 8.4 per cent (per cent) in 2018-19 from 7.4 per cent in the last financial year, it beats the national average in unemployment rate.
The unemployment rate in 2017-18 stood at 7.1 per cent in the State against the all India average of 6.1 per cent. In 2015-16, unemployment rate in the State was estimated at 3.8 per cent compared to National average of 3.7 per cent.
