61 sats \ 9 replies \ @Coinsreporter 15h \ on: Canada's unemployment rate climbs to 6.9% econ
Time to take the offer! ;)
Surprisingly India is at 7.9% which I believe is at least 1 to 2% higher because of a lot of people working in unorganised sectors and not showing they are employed.

Tbh, the govt. hides the stats in the name of "low earning labour" instead of "unemployment"

low earning labour
It's also employment. The wages in india are quite proportional to expenses. The condition is much better than most developing nations.

It's also employment.
it isn't! It doesn't fit the definition of poverty as per WHO, people can't afford 2 square meals a day, they beg for it and are labelled as employed :(

Yes. But I believe it's not been more than 5% here. A lot of people deny employment like me as well. I'm still earning but I don't show and it's not that only educated people do it, almost every 2nd unemployed is employed here.
